As the winter transfer window approaches, the future of Senegalese striker Boulaye Dia with Salernitana remains uncertain, with both Arsenal and Inter Milan expressing keen interest in the prolific forward.
Dia, who enjoyed a standout season in Serie A during 2022-2023 with 16 goals and 6 assists, has faced challenges in replicating that form in the current season.
With only four goals in 12 matches across competitions, the 27-year-old has found himself back in the transfer spotlight, catching the attention of clubs in both Italy and England.
Arsenal, under the management of Mikel Arteta, is reportedly preparing an offer for Dia, seeking to reinforce their forward line. Arteta has identified the center forward position as a priority, and Dia’s goal-scoring prowess makes him an attractive prospect for the Gunners.
In addition to Arsenal, Everton has also expressed interest in Dia, along with Inter Milan, who is contemplating a potential swap involving midfielder Stefano Sensi. The Italian giants view Dia as a valuable addition to their attacking options.
Salernitana, recognizing the increased attention on their Senegalese international, is reportedly open to a potential departure for a fee around €22 million.
The club, previously resistant to Dia’s departure, seems more receptive to negotiations, opening the door for a possible move in the upcoming transfer window.
As the speculation intensifies, the fate of Boulaye Dia remains uncertain, and the winter transfer window is poised to bring about potential changes in the striker’s career trajectory.
The interest from both Arsenal and Inter Milan adds an intriguing dimension to the forthcoming transfer activities.
