AliousStrasbourg Set to Cash In: Premier League Eyes on Diarra as Doukouré Attracts Bundesliga Interest
RC Strasbourg Alsace are preparing for a significant squad shake-up this summer, with club captain Habib Diarra (21) expected to be one of the high-profile departures, according to *L’Équipe*. Despite previous efforts from owners BlueCo to retain the promising midfielder, mounting financial pressures have made it necessary for the club to sell key assets. If a suitable offer is made, Strasbourg will no longer stand in Diarra’s way.
Diarra remains under contract until 2028, meaning any suitor will have to meet a steep valuation. Nonetheless, there is considerable interest from the Premier League, with Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion reportedly monitoring his situation closely.
Meanwhile, fellow 21-year-old Ismaël Doukouré is also attracting attention. A previous contract standoff with the club had cast doubt over his future, and although ties have since been mended, the versatile defender remains firm in his desire to move on. With his current deal set to expire in 2026 and no signs of an extension, Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen have made recent enquiries as they eye potential reinforcements.
Both players could command substantial transfer fees, helping Strasbourg ease financial concerns while triggering a possible rebuild ahead of next season.
