Senegal international Bamba Dieng will not be joining Turkish Super Lig newcomers Amedspor after his proposed transfer collapsed over changes to the agreed contract terms.
The former Olympique Marseille striker had been expected to travel to Turkey to complete the move, with negotiations believed to be at an advanced stage. However, the deal broke down at the final hurdle, leaving the 25-year-old’s future unresolved.
Medical claims dismissed
Initial reports in Turkish media suggested the transfer had failed because Dieng did not pass his medical examination.
Those claims have since been rejected, with the Senegal international making it clear that the reported medical issue was not the reason behind the collapse of the move.
Contract changes halted transfer
According to reports, Dieng was preparing to travel to Turkey when he discovered that several key terms agreed during negotiations had been altered without his approval.
The reported changes included adjustments to his salary package and other important contractual conditions.
The report further claims that intermediaries involved in the transfer sought to modify parts of the agreement in an effort to increase their commission, creating significant differences between the original deal and the final contract presented to the player.
Faced with those unexpected changes, Dieng reportedly decided not to travel to Turkey, bringing negotiations with Amedspor to an end.
Future remains open
The collapse of the transfer means Dieng will continue exploring other opportunities during the transfer window.
The Senegalese forward established himself as an exciting attacking talent during his time at Marseille, producing memorable performances in both Ligue 1 and European competition before moving in search of more regular first-team football.
