The veteran Burkinabe defender Issoufou Daio, star of RS Berkane, is attracting the attention of several Saudi clubs, most notably Al-Ettifaq, which is preparing to make an enticing offer to sign him. The Saudi club aims to strengthen its defense with a player who has extensive experience and remarkable scoring abilities despite his position as a defender.

According to informed sources, Al-Ettifaq plans to offer $1.2 million to contract with Daio, a sum that exceeds his current salary by three times. This move reflects the club's desire to secure its defense line with elements that possess international experience and exceptional skills.

In the current season, the player is delivering exceptional performance, having participated in 27 matches, scored 11 goals, and assisted 4 others, reflecting his significant impact in both attack and defense. These figures have made him a primary target for clubs seeking a defender with comprehensive capabilities.

Al-Ettifaq's moves towards signing Daio reflect a clear vision to strengthen its squad with elements capable of making a difference. The upcoming period is expected to witness decisive developments regarding the deal, amid strong competition for the services of the Burkinabe star.
