Mbaye Diagne to Earn Big in His New Team in Saudi Arabia
Former Süper Lig top scorer Mbaye Diagne has taken another step in his career. The Senegalese striker, who previously impressed with his performances for Galatasaray, Fatih Karagümrük, and Kasımpaşa in Turkey, signed with Al Quadisiya in Saudi Arabia’s 2nd Division last season.
Diagne’s Successful Season
Diagne completed the season with 26 goals in 32 matches for Al Quadisiya, significantly contributing to his team’s championship and promotion to the Pro League, and he became the top scorer. The 32-year-old striker has now made another notable move by signing with another 2nd Division team, Neom, where his salary will be quite remarkable.
Earning $7.5 Million Annually
According to reports from French and Saudi Arabian media, Mbaye Diagne will earn $7.5 million annually in the new season. Neom, which won the championship in the 3rd Division last season, will compete in the 2nd Division this season.
An Unconventional Transfer
Following the massive investment in football in Saudi Arabia, many star players have signed with Pro League teams, but Diagne made a unique move by transferring to the 2nd Division. However, as he has done throughout most of his career, the Senegalese forward managed to draw attention with his goals.
One of His Best Contracts
After becoming the top scorer and winning the league championship, Diagne has secured one of the best contracts of his career with his performance, solidifying his place in Saudi Arabia.
