RC Lens has made a strategic move in the transfer market by proposing a loan deal with an option to purchase for Habib Diallo, currently with Al Shabab. The Senegalese striker’s potential return to France is shaping up to be a significant development this summer.
With RC Lens preparing for the departure of their star forward, Elye Wahi, the club is keen to secure a replacement who can bring both experience and versatility to their attacking lineup.
Diallo, who previously played for Strasbourg, has emerged as a strong candidate. According to reports from L’Equipe, RC Lens has submitted an offer to Al Shabab for the striker.
The proposed arrangement involves a loan agreement with a buy option that includes conditions deemed achievable by both parties.
Discussions between RC Lens and Al Shabab are ongoing, with the French club making significant strides in their pursuit of Diallo.
However, RC Lens faces competition from Diallo’s former team, RC Strasbourg, which is also interested in bringing the striker back to France.
Diallo, who scored five goals and provided four assists for Al Shabab during the last season, has attracted attention from multiple suitors.
As negotiations continue, the football community will be watching closely to see where Diallo, a proven goal-scorer and valuable asset, will end up.
His potential return to French football could have a significant impact on the upcoming season for whichever club secures his services.
