Russian clubs Zenit and Krasnodar are negotiating with the representatives of Bamba Dieng over a free transfer. The 26-year-old Senegal international forward, who has 24 caps and 2 goals for his country, is a free agent after his departure from Lorient. A potential move to Al-Shabab for the player did not proceed and he is in advanced talks with an Italian club. It is reported that numerous other teams are also contenders for Dieng, including Sevilla, Valencia, Betis, Hoffenheim, and Hull City. Dieng's last transfer was in January 2023, a €7 million move from Olympique Marseille to Lorient, and his current market value is €15.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
