Rumors suggest that Celje may acquire Alpha Diounkou, a 24-year-old Senegalese and Spanish player who played as a right-back for Omonia this season. This potential transfer is happening as Celje's captain, Žan Karničnik, is nearing an agreement to join Omonia. Diounkou, whose contract is also expiring, has made 83 appearances in total for Omonia. The defender previously played in Manchester City's youth system and later for Barcelona's reserve team, Barca Atletic. Diounkou made 25 appearances in the Cyprus League in the 2025/2026 season. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €700k.
