Senegalese Ligue 1: Linguère denies the announced departures of Mamadou Jallow and Boubacar Fall

With the start of the new Senegalese Ligue 1 season just weeks away, the contractual situation of some Linguère de Saint-Louis players is a subject of debate. While several reports suggest departures, the Saint-Louis club wishes to clarify the situation.

According to Ndiaye Tall, administrative secretary of Linguère, the vast majority of players on the roster are still under contract with the club. Only a few contracts have expired, notably those of Ousmane Cissé and Amadou Gueye, which were not renewed. Ibrahimo Diop's case is different: the club released him to allow him to continue his career in Mozambique.

However, Linguère categorically denies the reported departures of El Hadj Boubacar Fall and Gambian defender Mamadou Jallow. The two players, linked to Jaraaf and AJEL Rufisque respectively, are reportedly still under contract with the Saint-Louis club.

“Linguère has not released any of these players to date. Whether it is El Hadj Boubacar Fall or Mamadou Jallow, they are still legally players of Linguère de Saint-Louis,” Ndiaye Tall stated.

The administrative secretary also assures that their contracts still run until the end of the 2026-2027 season.

"To date, no transfer agreement has been concluded between Linguère and any other club, in Senegal or abroad, concerning the two players," Ndiaye Tall further assured.

The Saint-Louis club's statement aims to clarify the situation amidst increasing player movement as the season approaches. According to Linguère, Boubacar Fall and Mamadou Jallow officially remain club players until an agreement is reached and their release is finalized.
