Ibrahim Diabate is being linked with a move from Swedish side GAIS to Egyptian giants Ahly SC, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 49% according to data compiled on 4 December 2025.
The 26-year-old centre-forward, valued at €1.50m, is understood to be on Ahly’s radar as the Cairo club assess attacking options in the Egyptian Premier League. While no agreement has been reached and no contract details have been disclosed, the link has intensified amid growing attention on Diabate’s rapid rise in market value during 2025 at GAIS.
Diabate, who wears the number 19 shirt for the Allsvenskan club, has seen his estimated worth increase sharply from €1m in June to €1.5m by November, reflecting his growing influence in Sweden’s top flight. Born in Bouaké on 17 November 1999 and standing at 1.85m, the right-footed Ivorian operates primarily as a central striker and has become one of GAIS’s most notable assets.
The forward joined GAIS from Västerås SK in early 2025, having previously spent several years in Spain with RCD Mallorca B, Atlético Madrileño and Sevilla Atlético, following his move from Ivorian club ASEC Mimosas in 2018. That pathway has given him experience across different football cultures, from the youth-focused set-ups of La Liga reserve teams to the physical demands of Swedish football.
Contract details at GAIS are not stated in the available data, leaving open the possibility that Diabate’s situation could change, including the theoretical prospect of him becoming a free agent in future if no extension is agreed. For Ahly, a move for a relatively affordable, in-form forward from Europe’s smaller leagues would fit a well-established recruitment pattern. Should the transfer materialise, it could mark a significant step in Diabate’s career, offering a new platform in African club football and potentially reshaping both his reputation and market value.
