Borussia Dortmund is in negotiations to sign Ibrahima Ba, a 20-year-old Senegalese central defender from FC Famalicão. It has been reported that concrete talks have already taken place. The player is under contract with the Portuguese top-flight club until 2030. Famalicão's corporation (SAD) expects a transfer fee of €20 million, which could increase by an additional €5 million through performance-related bonuses. Ba's consistent performances have also attracted interest from Sporting and Aston Villa. It is noted that the English club could potentially cause the price to increase if they seriously pursue the defender. In the 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season, Ba has made 19 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Reports in March 2026 indicated an asking price of at least €10 million for the defender. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt at €3 million.
