Sporting Gijón forward Amadou Coundoul is being linked with a move to UD Ibiza, with the Primera Federación side reportedly tracking the Senegalese striker’s situation closely.
The 23-year-old, currently valued at €100k, is the subject of speculation over a switch from LaLiga2 to Spain’s third tier, with reports in Spain suggesting Ibiza are exploring a deal as they look to bolster their attacking options. The likelihood of the move has not been clearly defined, with the reported probability of the transfer listed only as “?”, underlining how early-stage the talks appear to be.
Coundoul is on the books at Sporting Gijón, wearing the number 18 shirt and operating primarily as a centre-forward. There is also the possibility of future movement in his contract status, with available data not specifying a fixed expiry date, leaving the door open to scenarios ranging from a permanent transfer to a potential free-agent exit further down the line.
Born on 19 May 2002 in Guédiawaye, the 1.91m right-footed striker has built his career in Spain’s lower divisions. Before stepping up to Sporting’s first team, he featured for Sporting Atlético following spells at UD Llanera and UD Montijo, experiencing both Segunda Federación and regional-level football. His market value has climbed from €25k during his Llanera and Montijo days to €100k at Sporting Gijón, reflecting an upward trajectory in his profile, even if he is yet to establish himself as a top-tier name.
Coundoul’s rise through the Spanish system and his presence in LaLiga2 with Sporting make him a notable target for Ibiza, who compete in Primera Federación – Group II. Should a move materialise, it would represent a step into a different competitive environment and could prove a pivotal moment in shaping his reputation and long-term prospects in European football.
