Ibrahima Diaby expected to join Al-Ahli as Pape Cabral stays at Monaco | OneFootball

Ibrahima Diaby is having a medical at Al-Ahli on Sunday ahead of a possible move from Cercle Bruges.

According to L'Équipe, the 19-year-old midfielder, who left PSG for Cercle Bruges last season, is already there and is expected to sign a four-year contract with a one-year option. The fee is estimated at €13.5m, including bonuses.

Al-Ahli have also tried in recent hours to sign Andrija Bulatovic, 19. Talks with RC Lens were very advanced, but the deal is not expected to be completed.

As a result, Pape Cabral will remain at AS Monaco this season.

The Frenchman has chosen not to force a transfer to Saudi Arabia, having been assured by Monaco about his role in the squad. Criticism from Saudi supporters and the sporting director’s exit complicated the final stages of discussions.
