Alassane Ndao has completed a move from Turkish side Konyaspor to Ban, ending his spell in the Süper Lig and leaving his future at club level uncertain once his spell with his new team concludes.
The Senegalese right winger, valued at €1.20m at the time of the transfer, has left Konyaspor after joining the Konya club from Istanbulspor. The switch to Ban has been registered as a standard transfer with no fee disclosed, and his contract is listed as running from 10/12/2025 to 30/06/2026. With Ban competing outside a recognised league structure, there is a clear possibility that Ndao could become a free agent at the end of that deal.
Born in Dakar on 20/12/1996, Ndao has built his career largely abroad, making his name in Turkey and Saudi Arabia rather than in his home country Senegal. A right-footed attacker who operates primarily as a right winger, he first came to wider prominence at Fatih Karagümrük after moving from AS Dakar Sacré Cœur. Rapid progress in Istanbul saw his market value rise sharply, reflecting his impact in the Turkish game.
His performances at Fatih Karagümrük earned him a move to Al-Ahli SFC in Saudi Arabia, marking his first venture into the Middle East. A loan spell at Antalyaspor followed, keeping him in the Süper Lig, before he returned to Al-Ahli and subsequently re-established himself in Turkey with Istanbulspor. In January 2024 he stepped up again within the same league, joining Konyaspor, where his valuation stabilised around the €1.30m mark before settling at €1.20m ahead of his latest move.
Although recent detailed match statistics and appearance figures are not provided in the data, his repeated recruitment by Süper Lig clubs indicates that he remained a regular option at top-flight level in Turkey over several seasons. During his time there he featured in one of Europe’s more competitive leagues outside the traditional top five, facing a mix of domestic contenders and clubs with European experience, which contributed to his sustained market value.
Ndao’s move to Ban takes him away from the established league pathway he has followed in Senegal, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. With Ban listed without an associated league or country, the transfer places him in a setting that sits outside the usual competitive structures, and underlines the possibility that he could re-enter the market as a free agent once his contract to 30/06/2026 expires.
For Senegalese observers, the transfer represents another chapter in a career spent almost entirely abroad, with the Dakar-born winger continuing to operate far from his home country’s domestic scene. For potential suitors, his contractual end date and current valuation may make him an accessible option in a future window, particularly given his experience across multiple clubs and leagues.
As things stand, Ndao’s confirmed switch from Konyaspor to Ban formalises a short-term arrangement that could open the door to a new move once his contract runs its course, leaving his next destination – and the next phase of his career – to be decided beyond 30/06/2026.
