Senegal international forward Boulaye Dia has emerged as a potential target for Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli, according to reports. The club is looking to fill the void left by Ivorian midfielder Franck Kessie, who recently departed the Jeddah-based team.
Kessie, 29, joined Al Ahli from Barcelona in 2023 and made 55 appearances across all competitions, scoring 10 goals. His departure has prompted the club to seek reinforcements during the current summer transfer window.
Dia, 29, currently plays for Salernitana in Italy's Serie A, where he has been a standout performer. The Senegalese striker has also been capped 25 times for his national team, scoring 7 goals. However, no official bid has been confirmed, and negotiations are reportedly in early stages.
Al Ahli, who finished third in the Saudi Pro League last season, are aiming to strengthen their squad to compete for the title. The club has been active in the transfer market, having already secured several signings this summer.
