Senegalese centre-forward Habib Diallo, 30, who relocated to Saudi Arabia following a successful 20-goal season in Ligue 1, is reportedly on the verge of terminating his contract with Al-Shabab. Lille is interested in bringing him back to Ligue 1, while other clubs such as Strasbourg, Brest, Lens, Lorient, and Metz have also shown interest in the player. Metz, where Diallo spent five years, is particularly eager for his return, considering him a valuable addition for their current season in Ligue 1. The situation remains dynamic, but Diallo appears to be nearing a return to French football. Transfermarkt has assessed the player's current market value at €6.50m.
