Posted on December 19, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. by AM Asked about his various career choices, M'Baye Niang reconsiders his choice to sign in Saudi Arabia after his abortive arrival at ASSE. While AS Saint -Etienne was looking for offensive reinforcements, M'Baye Niang came very close to being loaned out in Forez when he was no longer playing at Stade Rennais . But while everything was completed, the case finally collapsed because of the irruption of many agents who demanded commissions. Eventually, the Senegalese international joined Saudi club Al-Ahli . A period to which returned the current striker of the Girondins de Bordeaux . “I refused full of offers, including in France. I wanted to leave. One day, in February, I had just woken up, I was called to say: “This club in Saudi Arabia wants you at all costs, what do you want to do?” I was in a bad mood and I replied: “I'm leaving”. I walk like this. They made me feel very welcome. A month later, I was sitting at home and I said to myself: “What are you doing here? You're crazy”. Football over there sucks (…) In the end, I didn't even train anymore. I would come, I would sit down and I would watch. They told me I could leave if I wanted. At least I saw that I didn't like it. ”
