Throughout his career, Ghana Gay has participated in over 450 club matches and is considered a cornerstone of the Senegal national team. He contributed to winning the Africa Cup of Nations title in 2021 and has participated in several World Cup editions, providing Al-Dhariya with significant technical and leadership qualities on the pitch.

An official announcement regarding the transfer is expected in the coming days, following the completion of final procedures. Diriyah continues to strengthen its squad in preparation for the new season, as part of the club's ambitious project to compete strongly and achieve its goals in the upcoming phase.
