As anticipated for several days, the departure of Keïta Diao Baldé from Sivasspor is now official. This Monday, January 6, the Turkish club announced the termination of the Senegalese striker’s contract, thus marking the end of an unfruitful collaboration.
Arriving free last summer after leaving Spartak Moscow, Keïta Diao Baldé failed to convince in the Süper Lig. In eleven appearances in the Sivasspor jersey, the former Senegalese international has only scored one goal, a record far from the expectations placed on him. At 29, the man who shone in the past at Lazio Rome, AS Monaco and Inter Milan now seems to be looking for a new challenge to relaunch his career.
This contract termination illustrates the difficulties encountered by the player in recent years. Despite undeniable potential revealed at the start of his career, Keïta Diao Baldé is struggling to regain his best level. The question now remains to know which club will be ready to bet on the former Senegalese hope, hoping that he manages to relaunch a trajectory which seemed promised to great successes.
