Makaya Ibrahima Diaby

In September 2026, reports indicated Al-Ahli agreed to a transfer package of €13.5 million to sign the player from Cercle Brugge, with the initial fee being approximately €10 million. During the summer of 2026, Celtic reportedly had a bid of over €8 million rejected. The player's market value was also listed at €1.5 million by Transfermarkt in September 2026.

Our valuation is driven by the confirmed transfer of Makaya Ibrahima Diaby from Cercle Brugge to Al-Ahli in September 2026. The reported base fee of €10 million, potentially rising to €13.5 million with add-ons, provides a firm basis for the estimate. This is further supported by a rejected bid from Celtic, reportedly over €8 million, during the same period.
