Mercato: Al Ahli joins AS Roma in the race for Jean-Mattéo Bahoya
Jean-Mattéo Bahoya could become one of the hottest topics in this closing stage of the transfer window. According to several European sources, Al Ahli has entered the race to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt winger. The Saudi club is reportedly ready to step up its pursuit in the coming days in hopes of convincing the player before his many European suitors do.
However, the Saudi Pro League side will face stiff competition. AS Roma is closely monitoring the Franco-Cameroonian and has identified him as a main alternative to Antonio Nusa, whose price tag is considered too high. Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, is valuing Bahoya at around 30 million euros, a fee that reflects the player's remarkable progression since his arrival in Germany.
Already linked with Arsenal and Tottenham in recent months, Jean-Mattéo Bahoya continues to raise his profile. Al Ahli's interest also highlights the growing allure of the Saudi Pro League, which is now targeting rising talents rather than just aging superstars.
A season that changed his status
Last season, Bahoya showcased his full potential. In 27 Bundesliga matches, he scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists, gradually establishing himself in Eintracht Frankfurt's attacking rotation. His bursts of acceleration, dribbling skills, ability to beat defenders one-on-one, and versatility on both wings have made him one of the most closely watched young players in the German league.
A career on a steady rise
Developed at Angers SCO, where he made his professional debut, Jean-Mattéo Bahoya joined Eintracht Frankfurt with the ambition of taking his game to the next level. After a period of adaptation, he has made his mark in a squad used to European competition, proving he has the quality to perform at the highest level.
At just 21 years old, the winger now has a wide array of options for the next step in his career. Whether he continues his development in a major European league or opts for the financial ambitions of Al Ahli, his future promises to be one of the most closely followed transfer sagas at the end of this window.
