International Burkinabé defender Youssouf Daio is on the verge of joining Qatari club Umm Salal, following his successful career with Moroccan club Nahdat Berkane.

According to media reports, both parties have reached a preliminary agreement, and the player is set to undergo a medical examination in Doha in the coming hours, paving the way for an official signing.

Daio is considered one of the key pillars of the orange team in recent years, having played a pivotal role in winning major titles, including the CAF Confederation Cup, the Throne Cup, and the Professional League.

This move is part of Umm Salal's strategy to strengthen its defense with African expertise, benefiting from the extensive experience of a defender who has represented Nahdat Berkane in key continental competitions.
