SC Freiburg continues to monitor the situation of FC Lorient player Bamba Dieng, whom the club has followed for a long time. The German club has previously held discussions with the Senegalese striker's entourage. Dieng is a target for the upcoming summer transfer window as his contract is nearing its end, which could make him available on a free transfer. However, Freiburg faces competition from Real Betis, which has reportedly taken a lead in the pursuit. The 26-year-old is valued at 6 million euros and earns an annual salary of 900,000 euros at Lorient. Dieng joined Lorient from Olympique Marseille in January 2023 for a reported €7 million and has 21 caps and 2 goals for Senegal.
