Mali midfielder Moussa Bagayoko has joined Indonesian club PSS Sleman from Libya’s Al-Watan on a free transfer, adding a 27-year-old central midfielder to their squad for the 2026-27 season.
Bagayoko completed the move on 1 August and arrives at PSS Sleman after one season with Al-Watan in the Libyan Premier League. The transfer is the latest step in a career that has taken him across several leagues and countries since he began playing senior football.
The Bamako-born player previously spent time with Real before moving to Al-Watan in July 2025. His career has also included spells with Al-Shabab Club and Venezuela’s Carabobo FC, where he arrived from Israeli club FC Ashdod on a free transfer in February 2023.
Bagayoko made 17 appearances in the Libyan Premier League during his career, scoring once. He has also played extensively in Turkey and Israel, recording 61 appearances in the 1. Lig and 27 in Liga Leumit. His record in those competitions includes four assists in Turkey and three goals in Israel.
The midfielder joined FC Ashdod in October 2020 from Adanaspor for €90,000, having earlier represented Hapoel Kfar Saba on loan. He also played for Elazigspor and its under-21 side in Turkey before leaving the country for his later spells in Israel, Venezuela and Libya.
Bagayoko is listed as a central midfielder and is comfortable using either foot. He stands 1.81m tall and joins PSS Sleman with a career market value of €150,000.
The move continues PSS Sleman’s recruitment of an experienced midfielder with a playing history that includes the Turkish, Israeli, Venezuelan and Libyan leagues. Bagayoko’s arrival also gives the club a player who has featured in domestic league competitions as well as continental qualifying and cup football.
His record includes appearances in the UEFA Conference League qualifying rounds, the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana, along with domestic cup competitions in Turkey and Israel. He has scored in the Israeli State Cup and Ligat ha’Al during his career.
Bagayoko’s transfer from Al-Watan to PSS Sleman has been completed as a free move, with no contract end date disclosed.
