Bamba Dieng transfer saga

Entities: Bamba Dieng · FC Lorient · Amed SK · Derby County Football Club · Hull City A.F.C.

Overview

On 28 July 2026, Senegal striker Bamba Dieng’s prospective move to Turkish side Amed SK collapsed after he failed to travel to Turkey and contract negotiations broke down. With the deal aborted, Dieng became a free agent and English Championship clubs Derby County and Burnley were reported to be among the interests, alongside Hull City and Sevilla.

Two days later, on 30 July 2026, Dieng announced that he had turned down offers from Turkey and a lucrative proposal from Saudi Arabia, stating his preference for a move to England. The race for his signature shifted to Hull City and newly‑promoted Middlesbrough, both eager to add his proven goal‑scoring to their squads for the 2026‑27 season.
