Lorient will have to do without Bamba Dieng from July onwards. The 26-year-old Senegalese striker has confirmed his departure from the Breton club at the end of his contract on his Instagram account. After beautiful years spent at the club, Bamba Dieng has decided to turn an important page in his career. Relaunched this season under the orders of Olivier Pantaloni, he scored 15 goals in 25 appearances, including 10 in Ligue 1 and 5 in the French Cup. Despite limited playing time, he contributed to the 9th place finish achieved by his future former employer. Bamba Dieng joined Lorient in 2023 from OM. He leaves a club he loved and where he kept beautiful memories. Lorient will always have a special place in his heart, he wrote. And now, he will try his luck elsewhere, attracting the attention of many teams abroad. So, what does the future hold for Bamba Dieng? Only the future will tell. But one thing is certain, he leaves Lorient with a good reputation. He played over 1,400 minutes of football spread over the season, which is a good result for a player who was relaunched mid-season. Bamba Dieng has also been selected 21 times for the Senegal national team, where he scored 2 goals. He therefore has good international experience, which could help him in his future career. But for now, he is focused on his departure from Lorient. He has taken the time to thank the club and its fans for their support. Bamba Dieng will be missed at Lorient, but he is ready for a new challenge.
