Transfer market: Bamba Dieng chooses Saudi Arabia

Since leaving French club Lorient on July 1, Bamba Dieng hasn’t stayed a free agent for long. The Senegalese striker is preparing for a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League.

According to our sources, citing Italian journalist Matteo Moretto, Al-Shabab is on the verge of sealing a deal with the former Lorient forward. Both parties are currently ironing out the final details of a three-year contract.

Despite interest from several European clubs, the 25-year-old has ultimately decided to make the switch to the Saudi league—a bold move that puts an end to speculation linking him with other clubs across Europe. After coming through the ranks at Marseille’s academy, Bamba Dieng is set for a fresh challenge following his stints in France’s first and second divisions. The official announcement is now just a matter of time.
