Mali centre-forward Sory Diarra of Haugesund is being linked with a move to Norwegian champions Bodø/Glimt, with the 26-year-old reportedly emerging as a target despite uncertainty over his contract status.
Diarra, who stands at 1.87m and plays as a right-footed centre-forward, is currently with FK Haugesund in Norway’s OBOS-ligaen, and could become available on a free-agent basis as his contract expiry date is not listed and no extension has been confirmed. His market value is estimated at €800k, a fee that would represent a relatively low-risk option for Bodø/Glimt as they look to bolster their attacking options for their Eliteserien campaign.
The rumour, logged on 29 June 2026 with a reported probability marked only as “?”, underlines that talks are at an early and speculative stage rather than signalling an advanced negotiation. No agreement between the clubs has been reported and there is no indication of a formal bid.
Born in Ségou on 28 February 2000, Diarra has built his career as a traditional No 9, operating through the middle and offering a strong physical presence in attack. Now 26, he wears the number 29 shirt at Haugesund and has been part of their forward line as the club competes in Norway’s second tier.
Recent match data from this season highlight his continued role as a focal point in Haugesund’s attack, though detailed individual figures for goals and assists have not been disclosed in the latest report. What is clear is that Bodø/Glimt are monitoring a profile that fits their recent pattern of recruiting relatively undervalued forwards from within Scandinavia.
Should a move materialise, a step up from OBOS-ligaen to the Eliteserien with a title-chasing Bodø/Glimt side could prove decisive in shaping Diarra’s next career phase and enhancing his reputation beyond Norway’s second tier.
