Grady Diangana Nears Big-Money Move to Damac FC
Grady Diangana, the former West Bromwich Albion midfielder, is close to joining Damac FC in Saudi Arabia. He has received a big offer and is thinking about his options as both sides get closer to a deal.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Diangana, 27, has been a free agent since leaving West Brom at the end of last season. Damac FC wants to add experience and creativity to their midfield, so they have offered him a strong financial deal. Reports say talks are advanced, with only final details to work out. Diangana is seriously considering this opportunity because of the contract size and the new challenge in the Saudi Pro League.
DAMAC FC SEEK REINFORCEMENTS
Damac finished mid-table last season in the Saudi Pro League. The team scored only 39 goals in 34 matches and is looking for attacking players in the transfer window. Diangana could bring needed quality and speed. Last season, he played 42 matches for West Brom, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. Damac’s next game is against Abha, who barely avoided relegation last season. This opening match is important for both clubs.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR DIANGANA AND DAMAC?
If Diangana takes the offer, he will join his new teammates before the season starts next week. The Saudi Pro League has gained worldwide attention in recent years. Damac hopes this signing will help them move up the standings. They were just five points away from the relegation zone last year, so they need players who can make a difference. If the deal goes through, Damac fans will be eager to see if Diangana can perform well and help the club reach the top half of the table.
