Besiktas target Viking’s Senegalese prospect as Kortrijk face renewed Alex Opoku Sarfo bid

Africafoot’s 14 August 2026 football news feed is led by two transfer stories involving African players. Tobias Saliou Sene Moi, one of the standout performers in the Norwegian league this year, has attracted concrete interest from Besiktas, while Aris Limassol have rejected a second offer from KV Kortrijk for Ghanaian youngster Alex Opoku Sarfo.

Sene Moi, a 20-year-old defensive midfielder of Senegalese origin, is emerging as one of the players drawing attention from major European clubs during the 2026 season. According to Norwegian outlet RA Stavanger, Besiktas have made a formal financial proposal worth slightly more than €4m for the Viking player.

The midfielder is under contract with Viking until December 2029, giving the Norwegian club a strong position in any potential negotiations. Despite that long-term commitment, Sene Moi remains open to the possibility of taking on a new challenge this summer.

However, the prospect of playing in the prestigious UEFA Champions League with Viking could have a significant influence on his decision. That opportunity is expected to weigh heavily as the player considers the next step in his career.

At this stage, the interest from Besiktas represents a concrete approach rather than a completed transfer. Sene Moi’s situation will therefore depend on the response from Viking, the terms of any potential agreement and the player’s own preference over whether to remain in Norway or move abroad.

Aris Limassol reject second Kortrijk offer

Aris Limassol have continued to resist attempts from KV Kortrijk to sign Alex Opoku Sarfo and have turned down a second offer for the young Ghanaian.

The latest approach from the Belgian club was worth €800,000, with additional bonuses included in the proposal. Aris Limassol rejected that bid after already declining an initial offer of €600,000.

The Cypriot side’s decision means Kortrijk have so far been unable to persuade the club to sanction the transfer. The two offers have both fallen short of securing an agreement, despite the Belgian club’s continued interest in the player.

Opoku Sarfo, meanwhile, has already made his own preference clear. The Ghanaian prodigy has informed Aris Limassol’s management directly that he wants to join a club in the Jupiler Pro League this summer.

His position adds another element to negotiations, with the player eager to continue his career in Belgium while Aris Limassol maintain their stance over the valuation of their young forward. Kortrijk’s second proposal has not changed that position, leaving the transfer unresolved.

The latest developments form part of Africafoot’s live coverage of African football, including transfer rumours, confirmed deals, records and other news involving African players.
