Africafoot reports that Eliteserien leaders FK Viking are interested in Sory Ibrahim Diarra, a 25-year-old forward from FK Haugesund, a club facing potential relegation. The same source states that emissaries from Viking have been regularly monitoring the Malian international for a considerable period and intend to approach his representative to express their interest. Transfermarkt estimates Diarra's market value at 400,000 euros. Other clubs, including La Gantoise and PSV Eindhoven, are also tracking the player. It is reported that PSV has been following him since the summer of 2024, a period when West Ham and Olympiakos were also linked with the player, but Haugesund was unwilling to sell. Diarra's contract runs until December 31, 2026, and Africafoot also reports that his current club has initiated negotiations for a renewal.
