Senegal international defender Abdou Diallo is being linked with a move from Qatari side Al-Arabi SC to Belgian giants RSC Anderlecht, according to data compiled on 19 December 2025.

The 29-year-old centre-back, currently valued at €5.00m, is listed as a rumoured target for the Jupiler Pro League club, with the probability of any deal still unclear and marked only as “?”. Diallo is officially on the books of Al-Arabi but is on loan at fellow Qatar Stars League side Al-Duhail SC, with the data indicating he is due to return to Al-Arabi at the end of that spell. With no contract expiry date provided, there remains the possibility that his situation could evolve towards a free-agent scenario, adding another layer to the speculation.

Anderlecht’s interest would bring Diallo back to a league he knows well. Early in his career he spent time on loan at Zulte Waregem in Belgium, before moving through a series of major European clubs including AS Monaco, Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig. His experience across Ligue 1, the Bundesliga and the Qatar Stars League, combined with his left-footed profile and primary role as a centre-back, makes him an attractive option for a side seeking defensive leadership.

Born in Tours on 4 May 1996 and holding both Senegalese and French nationality, Diallo’s market value has fluctuated significantly over the past decade, peaking at around €35m during his spells with Dortmund and PSG before settling at the current €5.00m mark during his time in Qatar. No recent match data or specific performances are listed in the provided information, leaving it unclear how his latest displays might be influencing interest from Europe.

If a move to Anderlecht does materialise, it could offer Diallo a high-profile route back into European competition and a fresh platform to reshape his reputation after several seasons away from the continent’s top leagues.
