Red Star Belgrade striker Chérif Ndiaye has left the door open to a potential transfer during the winter window, despite being under contract with the Serbian club until June 2026.
The 28-year-old Senegalese forward, who scored his 15th goal of the season in Red Star’s Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday, spoke candidly about his future in the aftermath of the match.
His performance has reportedly drawn interest from several clubs, including Stade de Reims, who were linked with him earlier in the transfer window.
When asked about the possibility of a move, Ndiaye acknowledged that while he remains committed to his current club, football’s unpredictable nature means a transfer cannot be ruled out.
I have a contract here, so if nothing happens, of course, I will stay,” he said. “We do not know what can happen in football, but I am focusing on Red Star Belgrade. We will see.
Ndiaye’s consistent performances this season have made him a standout player for Red Star.
A key contributor to the team’s domestic and European campaigns, his striking prowess and ability to deliver in crucial moments have not gone unnoticed.
Despite speculation about his future, Ndiaye emphasized his professionalism and dedication to his current role, suggesting he is equally prepared to stay in Belgrade if no suitable offers materialize.
I am focusing on Red Star Belgrade,” he reiterated, signaling his commitment to the club for the time being.
Stade de Reims, a club in France’s Ligue 1, emerged as a potential suitor for Ndiaye earlier in the transfer window.
While no official offers have been reported, the interest reflects the growing recognition of his talent beyond Serbia.
Ndiaye’s versatility and consistent goal-scoring record make him an attractive prospect for teams looking to bolster their attacking options.
For Red Star Belgrade, retaining Ndiaye would provide stability and continuity as the club continues its domestic and European campaigns.
However, the unpredictable nature of the transfer market could lead to last-minute negotiations, especially with Ndiaye not entirely ruling out a move.
As the transfer window progresses, Ndiaye’s situation remains one to watch.
Whether he stays to continue his impressive run with Red Star or seizes a new opportunity elsewhere, his future will undoubtedly be a topic of interest in the footballing world.
For now, the Senegalese striker remains focused on his current responsibilities, leaving fans and observers to speculate about what lies ahead.
