Habib Diallo, a 30-year-old Senegalese international who transferred to Saudi Arabia following a 20-goal season in Ligue 1, is nearing the termination of his contract with Al-Shabab. The striker's market value is currently estimated at €6.50m, as per Transfermarkt. Lorient has expressed interest in bringing him back to Ligue 1. Diallo's profile has drawn attention from several French clubs, including Strasbourg, Brest, Lens, and Lille, all of which have considered the possibility of signing him in recent months. Additionally, FC Metz, where Diallo played for five years from 2015 to 2020, has joined the competition to secure his return, aiming to bolster their team for the forthcoming Ligue 1 season. As negotiations progress, Diallo is moving closer to a potential return to France.
