Sporting, Benfica and Porto eye Famalicão defender, price 10M | OneFootball

Ibrahima Ba is being linked with Sporting, Benfica, Porto, Braga and Vitória de Guimarães. The player represents Famalicão and has established himself among Hugo Oliveira’s first choices, becoming a regular starter in central defence alongside Justin de Haas.

The Senegalese centre-back is 20 years old and is in his second season with the Minho side, having arrived in Portugal to take part in the Under-23 project. This season, the player has made 20 appearances and scored one goal.

His contract is valid until 2029 and he has a market value of €3 million. According to 'TransferFeed', Famalicão’s SAD is asking interested clubs for €10 million. The player’s consistent performances have also sparked interest abroad, with Aston Villa and Rennes closely monitoring his development.

Ibrahima Ba is enjoying the best spell of his career, and the fact that he has benched an Ecuador international (Léo Realpe) is a clear sign of the consistency he has shown. What’s more, there is another Famalicão player on Sporting’s radar.

Given this scenario, the defender is expected to be the subject of intense competition in the transfer market, with domestic and international clubs keeping an eye on one of the most promising young players in the Portuguese league. Ibrahima Ba was the man responsible for Famalicão’s 1-0 win over Nacional in the last round.
