Official! Famalicão regular signs to 2030, Sporting move fades | OneFootball

It’s official. Famalicão and Senegalese defender Ibrahima Ba have extended their contract, keeping the player at the club until 2030. The 20-year-old has been enjoying a breakthrough season with the first team, after starting out with the under-23s.

This season, the centre-back, who was being tracked by Sporting, has established himself as a starter, making 20 appearances and scoring one goal, numbers that earned him recognition as one of Liga Portugal’s best young players in February. The player has been seen as one of the most pleasant surprises in Hugo Oliveira’s squad.

Speaking to the Famalicão club, Ibrahima Ba expressed his satisfaction with the renewal: "I’m very happy to have renewed my contract with the club that has allowed me to develop my abilities and provides all the conditions for me to grow into a high-level footballer. The players in my position have a lot of quality and have helped me improve".

"I fulfilled my dream of making my debut in the Primeira Liga, scoring a goal in the league, and now I have more dreams to fulfil. I know I am at the right club to achieve them. I hope to make the fans as happy as I am to represent this club".
