Senegal centre-forward Ibrahima Cissé of Jong KAA Gent is being linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund, with the Belgian club’s 18-year-old attacker reportedly on the Bundesliga side’s radar.
The teenager, who stands at 1.96m and plays as a centre-forward for Gent’s U21 side in the Challenger Pro League, is listed with a market value of €900,000. Data from Transfermarkt suggests Dortmund are assessing the possibility of a deal, although the reported probability of the transfer remains unclear, marked only as “?”.
Cissé’s contractual situation could yet fuel speculation. No expiry date is recorded for his current deal with Jong KAA Gent, leaving room for conjecture that he could become available on favourable terms if his contract were to run down or expire, with a future free-agent scenario not being ruled out in rumour columns.
Born on 24 September 2007, Cissé has been developed within the Gent set-up and currently features for Jong KAA Gent, who compete in Belgium’s second tier. He wears the number 75 shirt and is deployed primarily as an attacking focal point through the middle.
Recent reports highlight growing interest in physically imposing, development‑stage forwards, and Cissé’s combination of height and age fits the profile of players Dortmund have often targeted. He represents only Senegal at international level and is yet to break through for the senior national side.
Specific recent match details, including opponents, dates and individual performances, have not been documented in the latest dataset, but his progression in Belgium’s Challenger Pro League appears to have been enough to draw attention from one of Germany’s leading clubs.
If a move were to materialise, a switch from Jong KAA Gent to Dortmund would mark a major step in Cissé’s career, offering a platform that could accelerate his development, enhance his reputation in European football and significantly raise his long-term market value.
