Highly reliable Italian sources indicate that Senegalese international Boulaye Dia is poised to depart Salernitana during the upcoming winter transfer window. The accomplished striker, often referred to as the “Lions” within football circles, has attracted attention from multiple Premier League clubs, and his departure from Salernitana appears imminent.
Renowned Italian journalist Nicolò Schira has reported that Boulaye Dia’s departure could materialize upon the payment of his release clause, which is currently estimated at 21 million euros.
This potential move underscores the growing interest in the talented forward from clubs in the prestigious English Premier League.
Boulaye Dia, who joined Salernitana in July from the Spanish club Villarreal, has showcased his prowess in Serie A with notable contributions.
In the 13 matches he has played in the Italian top-flight league, Dia has netted four goals, with his most recent goal recorded on November 10 during the match against Sassuolo in the 12th round of fixtures.
The Franco-Senegalese forward, with a market value of 18 million euros according to the specialized site “Transfermarkt,” has witnessed a surge in his value compared to June, where it was 7 million euros less.
Having initially trained in France, Boulaye Dia made his mark, signing with Villarreal in 2021 after a stint with Reims.
However, a recent setback occurred when Dia sustained an injury during the match against AC Milan last Friday.
The timing of this injury raises concerns about his potential participation in the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON). If the move to the Premier League materializes, it would mark a significant chapter in Boulaye Dia’s career and potentially set the stage for his prowess to be showcased on the grand stage of English football.
Football enthusiasts await further developments as the winter transfer window approaches, eagerly anticipating Dia’s potential move to the Premier League.
