Alioune Mbaye has completed a move to Jordanian side Al-Baqaa from Rwandan club Gasogi United on a free transfer, with his contract at the Jordanian Pro League outfit running from 2026-02-06 to 2027-06-30. The 23-year-old Senegalese centre-forward joins Al-Baqaa after just over a year in Rwanda, further extending a career path that has already taken him through Senegal, Tunisia and East Africa.
The transfer was finalised as a standard free deal, with no fee paid by Al-Baqaa despite Mbaye’s previous recorded market valuation of €25,000 during his time at Tunisian club Club Africain. His most recent listed market value is recorded as zero, underlining the financial opportunity for the Jordanian side to secure a young attacking option without transfer expenditure. The move also means Mbaye continues his career abroad rather than in his home country Senegal, and positions him to compete in the Jordanian Pro League with Al-Baqaa.
Before joining Al-Baqaa, Mbaye had been under contract with Gasogi United, a club based in Rwanda, having arrived there from free agency in early 2025. His spell in Rwanda followed a stint at Tunisian giants Club Africain, who had signed him from ASC Niarry-Tally Grand-Dakar Biscuiterie in Senegal. That pathway reflects a steady progression from domestic Senegalese football into North African competition, then East Africa, and now the Middle East.
Born in Thiès and standing 1.82 metres tall, Mbaye operates primarily as a centre-forward and is listed as a right-footed attacker. His national team affiliation in the data is to Al-Baqaa, and he is registered with Senegalese nationality. Across his career records, he has moved between leagues in Senegal, Tunisia and Rwanda, and is now entering Jordanian football for the first time. The confirmed transfer into the Jordanian Pro League gives Al-Baqaa another option in the attacking line as they prepare for upcoming domestic campaigns.
Market value history from his Club Africain period shows a stable valuation of €25,000 through 2022 and 2023, before dropping to zero in mid-2024, a likely reflection of contract status rather than on-field potential. That decline in listed value created the conditions for multiple free moves: first from Club Africain to life without a club, then to Gasogi United, and now to Al-Baqaa, each time without a transfer fee being recorded.
No detailed appearance or goal statistics are provided in the data for his recent seasons, and there is no match-by-match record specifying opponents, scorelines or individual performances. Likewise, the data does not include specific reaction from supporters or media in Senegal, Rwanda or Jordan. What is clear, however, is that Mbaye’s career trajectory remains outward-looking, built around opportunities outside Senegal’s domestic leagues and focused on gaining experience in a variety of footballing environments.
With his latest move now officially confirmed, Mbaye enters a new phase at Al-Baqaa that could prove pivotal for his development. A successful spell in the Jordanian Pro League would strengthen his reputation as a forward capable of adapting across different countries and competitions, and could shape the next steps of his career once his contract with the Jordanian club runs its course.
