Clermont Foot 63 have announced the signing of FC Basel centre-back Andy Pelmard (23). The 23-year-old defender returns to Ligue 1 after breaking through at Nice. The OGC Nice youth product joined Swiss side FC Basel on loan in 2021. His move to St. Jakob-Park was made permanent one year ago. Pelmard played a full season with the Swiss League side, which went on to reach the Conference League semi-finals, playing 58 games in total.
