Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Dieng could be set for a move to Italy. According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio Rome have entered the race for the Senegal international.

Talks between the Roman club and the player's entourage are reportedly well advanced. At 26 years old, the former Diambars talent has been a free agent since his departure from FC Lorient this summer. He is now seeking a stable and ambitious project to continue his career.

A transfer saga with many twists and turns

Bamba Dieng's name has surfaced several times in the transfer market. The striker was said to be close to deals with Al-Shabab and then Amed Sport in Turkey. OGC Nice also showed interest in the former Olympique de Marseille player before pulling out. With 24 caps and 2 goals for Senegal, Dieng is eager to return to a top league and secure regular playing time.

Impressive stats with Lorient

On the pitch, the striker is coming off a strong season in Lorient colors. He played 25 matches in all competitions, netting 15 goals. He scored 10 goals in Ligue 1 and added 5 more in the Coupe de France.

Valued at €15 million by Transfermarkt, Bamba Dieng represents a cost-effective opportunity for Lazio, who are looking to bolster their attacking options before the transfer window closes.
