Mory Diaw, Clermont’s starting goalkeeper for the last two seasons in Ligue 1, is currently the center of much attention on the transfer market. At 30, the Senegalese, with 67 matches played for Clermont, is looking for a new challenge after the Auvergne club’s descent into Ligue 2.
According to information from L’Équipe, two Ligue 1 clubs are showing serious interest in the Senegal Lions goalkeeper. FC Nantes plans to recruit him as Alban Lafont’s successor, while RC Lens is also positioning itself, especially in the event of the departure of Brice Samba, as announced by wiwsport. Nantes have already sent a first contract proposal, although the 30-year-old’s side currently considers it insufficient.
Internationally, Mory Diaw’s future also seems promising. Burnley, a Championship club in England, is interested in him, while a major Serie A club is looking for an understudy for its squad. Saudi clubs have also expressed their interest, attesting to the recognition of the Senegalese international’s talent beyond French borders. For Clermont, relegated to the second division at the end of this season which would like to prepare accordingly for its return to Ligue 1, the loss of its starting goalkeeper is envisaged, with an estimate of its price around 2 million euros. The Auvergne club understands Mory Diaw’s aspirations and will not oppose his departure for a new sporting challenge, according to the same source.
