Senegalese international striker Mbaye Niang is actively seeking a new club after parting ways with Wydad Casablanca.
The 28-year-old, capped 15 times by Senegal, has drawn interest from Italy, where he could make a return to Serie A for the second half of the season.
Italian football journalist Nicolo Schira has reported that two Serie A clubs have expressed interest in Niang’s services, though the identities of the teams remain undisclosed.
The forward’s experience and versatility are believed to be key factors in attracting the attention of these clubs as they look to bolster their squads during the January transfer window.
Niang’s career has been marked by stints with several high-profile European clubs, including AC Milan, Torino, and Rennes.
His time in Italy, in particular, saw him showcase his attacking skills and adaptability in various roles across the front line.
A return to Serie A could offer the player an opportunity to reignite his career at a competitive level.
Having left Wydad Casablanca, where his time was marked by inconsistent performances, Niang is now determined to find a team that aligns with his ambitions.
Known for his pace, technical ability, and physicality, the forward’s potential arrival in Serie A could provide valuable depth and attacking options for his new team.
Niang’s availability on the market has sparked speculation about which clubs might be in the race for his signature.
While his performances in recent years have been mixed, his talent and experience make him a valuable asset for teams aiming to strengthen their attacking lines.
