Ittihad Close to Signing Dion Lopy

Al Ittihad is nearing the completion of a deal to sign Senegalese midfielder Dion Lopy, as part of their efforts in the summer transfer market to strengthen the squad ahead of the 2026-2027 season.

Journalist Santi Ona confirmed that negotiations between the Union and the player have reached advanced stages, noting that De Jong is preparing to sign with the club, pending the completion of official procedures.

No details regarding the transfer fee or contract duration have been announced yet, while Union fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement in the coming days.

Loubie Debt has an impressive professional career, having progressed through the Stade de Reims academy before reaching the first team. He then moved to Almería in Spain in the summer of 2023.

The player has delivered impressive performances in La Liga, establishing himself as one of the standout defensive midfielders thanks to his physical strength, ability to win the ball back, and his skill in organizing play and building attacks from the back.

Lopy has played more than 150 official matches with the clubs he has represented, including over 70 matches wearing the Almería jersey. He also holds the international jersey for the Senegal national team.

The player's market value stands at around €15 million, reflecting his status in European football, and making his potential addition to the Union a strong technical boost for the midfield, thanks to his experience and ability to play in multiple positions.
