Krasnodar and Zenit are both interested in signing Bamba Dieng on a free transfer and are in negotiations with the representatives of the forward. Dieng is a 26-year-old Senegal international with 24 caps and 2 goals for his country. He is a free agent following his departure from Lorient. A prior move to Al-Shabab reportedly did not happen, and the player is said to be in advanced talks with an Italian club. Other teams named as potential suitors include Hull City, Wrexham, Sevilla, Valencia, Betis, and Hoffenheim. Dieng's last transfer was in January 2023 from Olympique Marseille to Lorient for a €7 million fee. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €15.00m.
