Clermont is betting on Maxence Soulet, a talented young striker from the 2009 generation, for its future. Originally from Albi, Soulet joined Clermont Foot during the 2024/2025 season. He is already a French U16 international with six selections to his name. His recent performances, including his good substitute appearance in the U19 National final against Paris Saint-Germain, confirm his rapid rise. And with 13 goals in U17 Nationaux, Soulet has shown his potential. But his elimination in the semifinals of the playoffs against Angers ended his season. So he will now have to face competition to keep his place in the team. With Ligue 1 teams and English and Italian clubs closely following him, Soulet will have to prove himself. He has already scored 4 goals in 12 matches with the French U16 team, which proves his talent. And with his contract expiring, Clermont will have to make an important decision about his future. In fact, the club will have to choose between keeping him or letting him go. So Soulet's situation is currently very uncertain. Finally, Clermont hopes that Soulet will be able to continue progressing and helping the team achieve its goals. With his skills and talent, Soulet could be a key player for Clermont in the future.
