Shabab close to signing Senegalese goalkeeper Mory Diaw
Shabab are nearing a deal to sign Senegalese goalkeeper Mory Diaw from Le Havre, with final negotiations underway to complete the transfer.
Shabab are in the final stages of a transfer to sign Senegalese goalkeeper Mory Diaw from French club Le Havre, with negotiations currently underway, according to Footmercato. The club management has agreed with Le Havre's representatives for Diaw's move, awaiting only the final details to be settled before an official announcement can be made.
Diaw, currently 33 years old, made his debut for Le Havre in the opening match of the Ligue 1 season against Monaco as a substitute, while Senegal's Lionel Mpasi took his place in the starting lineup. The goalkeeper's transfer to the Saudi Pro League comes after an impressive season with Le Havre and his participation with the Senegalese national team at the 2026 World Cup, where he was called upon to start after Al-Ahli's Edouard Mendy suffered an injury.
Additionally, Shabab have recently exited the King's Cup in the Round of 32 and have only managed one point from their first two matches in the Roshn Saudi Pro League.
