While Everton is already on the file, Rennes and its Argentinian coach Jorge Sampaoli are looking to recruit one of the jewels of Senegalese football.
Habib Diarra, attacking midfielder for Racing Club de Strasbourg, is one of football’s hottest young talents French. At only 21 years old, this native of Guédiawaye (Senegal) impresses with his maturity on the pitch and his leadership role within his training club. Having become captain of the Alsatian team, he has already accumulated 78 appearances in Ligue 1 for a total of 84 professional matches with Strasbourg, registering 10 goals and delivering 6 assists.
This season, Diarra continues his momentum with 14 matches, 3 goals and 1 assist in the championship. A performance all the more remarkable as he combines this with his rise in Senegal national teamwhere he debuted last March and scored all three goals scored by his country during the last rally in November. At only 21 years old, he embodies the future of his club… but perhaps not for long.
Sampaoli faces competition from the prestigious Premier League
While Strasbourg fights to keep its jewel, two European clubs are closely monitoring its performances. Evertonin the Premier League, is particularly interested, announces The Team. The Toffees, who already have two Senegalese internationals in their ranks – Idrissa Gana Guèye Free Mp3 Download et Indian education – would prepare an offer of around 20 million euros.
This proposal could well convince Strasbourg, especially since the club had already rejected a similar offer this summer. Everton sees Diarra as a strategic reinforcement for its midfielder, particularly with a view to compensating for certain departures and preparing for the future. But the club English is not alone in the race. In Ligue 1, the Stade Rennaisunder the leadership of Jorge Sampaoli, has also shown a marked interest in Diarra, indicates insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter.
