Khadim Diaw, a 27-year-old Mauritanian international defender who also has Senegalese citizenship, has become a free agent and has interest from several African clubs, including some located in Algeria and Tanzania. A source close to the player told Africafoot that Diaw is free to sign with any club because he won a FIFA case against his former club, Al Hilal Omdurman, concerning unpaid wages. MC Alger has an objective to strengthen its defense by recruiting Diaw and considers him a priority for the winter market. It was reported by Africafoot that the club's management made a direct approach to the player and his entourage to present their project. The initial discussions were favorable, which resulted in Diaw's camp requesting a formal offer. MC Alger is reportedly considering a two-year contract with a salary that is slightly higher than the one offered by JS Kabylie. JS Kabylie is also competing to sign him and is said to have a slight advantage. A source close to the player confirmed that in addition to interest from JS Kabylie and Simba SC in Tanzania, MC Alger recently made an approach, presented a proposal, and was given a counter-offer. However, MC Alger faces an administrative obstacle, as the club must make a foreign player spot available to register Diaw. According to a reliable source, the club has committed to resolving this issue before the winter transfer window opens. The player's camp is currently waiting for a response from MC Alger and confirmed that the club must first resolve the foreign player situation. The camp continues to consider all options for the player's career. The defender has 22 caps for Mauritania. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €175k.
