MBaye Niang linked with Ligue 2 move to USL Dunkerque

Senegalese-French centre-forward M’Baye Niang, currently without a club, has been linked with a move to French Ligue 2 side USL Dunkerque.

The rumour was recorded on 8 September 2026 and concerns a possible return to club football for the 31-year-old striker. Dunkerque are the club named in the proposed move, with the destination competition listed as Ligue 2.

Niang is valued at €800,000 and is listed as a centre-forward. The move would see him join a second-tier French club as a free agent, with no current club attached to his profile.

The former France youth international also has Senegalese nationality and has been represented in player records under both nationalities. His availability comes at an age when his experience could be relevant to a Dunkerque squad competing in France’s second tier, although the information surrounding the approach remains limited.

There has been no confirmation that an agreement has been reached, and the rumour does not include contract details or a stated transfer probability. Niang remains without a club while the reported link with USL Dunkerque develops.
