Mali international Abdoulaye Doucouré has emerged as a top transfer target for newly promoted Saudi Pro League outfit Neom SC in the current transfer window.
Neom SC are executing an aggressive effort to bolster their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 football campaign, with Doucouré popping up on their radar.
The 32-year-old is currently a free agent after terminating contract with Premier League club Everton. However, he is expected to find himself a club before the commencement of the new season.
Neom SC coach, Christophe Galtier seeks to rebuild the newly promoted team, with the Malian midfielder, who holds French citizenship, emerging as one of the candidates to bolster the team.
Doucouré has a long professional career, starting with French club Stade Rennais, then Watford in England and Granada in Spain, before settling with Everton in 2020.
In his final season with the Toffees, the Malian midfielder played 33 matches in all competitions, scoring 3 goals and making 2 assists.
