Rising star of Senegalese football, Amara Diouf, won her dispute against her club Génération Foot.
Record holder for goals in an edition of CAN U17 and title holder with Senegal since last year, Amara Diouf, 16 years old, a precocious phenomenon in African football, inevitably arouses envy. Several European leaders, including Liverpoolhad previously been announced on the ranks.
Moreover, it is practically a surprise to see the left winger still playing in his training club Génération Foot as we write these lines. But not for long. Indeed, the native of Dakar should terminate his contract at the end of the season, we learn from our colleagues at Sport News Africa.
Amara Diouf soon free to join the club of her choice
This is the verdict of the National Dispute Resolution Chamber of the Federation Senegalese football (FSF). On October 8, the court ruled in favor of the promising attacker in the dispute between him and the Dakar team, SNA still informs. The latter ordered the 1.75m kid to honor a lease lasting until 2028.
Supported by their representatives, Amara Diouf’s parents contested these wishes, referring to FIFA regulations limiting the contract duration of minors to three years. From now on, the left winger can sign up at the end of this financial year with the club of his choice. A renegotiation for a contract extension remains possible but increasingly unlikely.
SNA adds that GF managers are preparing to appeal, given the financial consequences inherent to this decision, but also for fear that this case will set a precedent for other miners under contract with Garnet et Blanc. It could also be a blow for Metz, who had a priority option to recruit him under its partnership with GF.
