FIFA was contacted for Djibril Diaw

It has now been more than a month since Djibril Diaw is at Haillan, and participates in training for the Girondins de Bordeaux. If his future is taking shape in Gironde for this season at least, the 28-year-old central defender still cannot play.

Indeed, his license is still not validated and Bruno Irles cannot put him on a match sheet. If we were able to see the growth and the perfect services of Jean
Grillot in his place, our rookie was recruited to be a starter.

Sud Ouest gives us additional information regarding the International Transfer Certificate (CIT), the only element missing for Djibril Diaw to be able to play. This document must be transmitted by the Federation of the club where he played. However, the club from Rukh Lviv, in Ukraine, stopped its championship following the invasion of Russia, and during this time Djibril Diaw – who had the right to do so – left to play at Stade Lavallois. But his contract, which ran until 2025, was “only” suspended. Thus the Lviv club requested compensation from the Girondins de Bordeaux. The Scapular Club obviously refuses to pay transfer compensation, not having the means, and being within its rights.

The file is now in the hands of FIFA, which the club has asked to move things forward.
