Boubacar Keita: CD Don Benito complete free transfer for Senegal midfielder from UE Porreres

CD Don Benito have completed the signing of Senegalese central midfielder Boubacar Keita from UE Porreres on a free transfer, with the deal officially registered to start on 2026-07-03 and running through to an undisclosed contract end date.

The 26-year-old arrives with a current market value of 100k and will join Don Benito to compete in Spains Segunda Federacion Grupo IV. The move keeps Keita in Spanish football but confirms he will continue his career abroad rather than in his homeland Senegal, extending a journey that has already taken him across multiple clubs in the countrys lower professional tiers.

Keita joins Don Benito after a short spell at UE Porreres, whom he joined from Aguilas FC earlier in the 25/26 season. Although the transfer from Porreres is completed as a free, the midfielders valuation has fluctuated notably in recent years, peaking at 250k during his time at SD Tarazona before settling at 100k in his latest updates with the Mallorcan side.

Born in Bignona on 05 Apr 2000, Keita is listed primarily as a central midfielder, offering Don Benito options in the middle of the park. His career path has been almost entirely built in Spain, beginning from an Unknown club before stepping into the structure at Club San Ignacio and then Deportivo Alaves B, where he first appeared on wider scouting radars.

Loan spells and permanent moves have since taken him through CD Laredo and CD Tropezon, where he alternated between temporary and return-from-loan transfers in the 21/22 campaign. Those stints were followed by a move to UD Logrones Promesas and then promotion into the UD Logrones first team, signalling his progression towards more competitive levels of the Spanish pyramid.

Keitas stock rose significantly at Logrones and Tarazona. Market value data shows a climb from 50k at Laredo and Tropezon to 150k with Logrones Promesas and the Logrones first team, and then to 200k and later 250k at Tarazona, reflecting how his performances in the 23/24 season were viewed in the marketplace, particularly in the Segunda Federacion environment.

A subsequent move to Recreativo Huelva saw his valuation stabilise at around 200k, a level that persisted through a transfer to CD Estepona FS and then to Aguilas FC in the 25/26 season. His switch to UE Porreres coincided with a downward adjustment to 100k, suggesting a step into a less prominent competitive context before Don Benito intervened to secure him without a transfer fee.

There is no publicly available match or season-statistics data in the latest records for Keitas time at Porreres or Aguilas, nor detailed performance breakdowns such as goals, assists or minutes played. However, his repeated recruitment by clubs across Spains lower professional tiers, and his sustained valuation over several years, underline how he is regarded as a reliable central option rather than a short-term squad filler.

Keitas latest transfer places him once again in a recognised national competition in Segunda Federacion Grupo IV, where consistent exposure and stability at CD Don Benito could be decisive for restoring or even increasing his market value and reinforcing his reputation as an experienced Senegalese midfielder in Spanish football.
