Al Qadsiah strengthen their defence with Ivorian Diabate

Al Qadsiah have strengthened their defensive line by signing young Ivorian Ali Diabati from Samsunspor in a deal that runs until 2030.

Al Qadsiah welcomed their new Ivorian defender on their official account on X, sharing a video celebrating the player's arrival to the team.

Ali Diabate is 19 years old, and his market value is estimated at around one million euros, according to data from Transfermarkt.

The Ivorian defender has experience with Leader Sporting in his home country before moving to KRC Genk's academy to continue his football career.

Diabate has embarked on a new experience in Europe after joining Samsunspor, having previously represented Al-Qadisiyah.

The signing of Diabati comes as part of Al Qadsiah's efforts to bolster their defense with a young element who has the potential to grow over the coming years, especially given his long-term contract with the club.

Al Qadsiah hopes that the Ivorian defender will be a new addition to the team, especially with his diverse experiences in Ivorian, Belgian, and Turkish football.
