Gaëtan Laborde, an experienced Ligue 1 attacker, might consider a significant transfer next season. The player, known for his offensive talent and sense of purpose, arouses the interest of a second Saudi division club, Al-Diraiyah. After having proved its worth in several renowned French clubs such as Bordeaux, Montpellier HSC, Rennes and currently the OGC Nice, Laborde has been able to mark the minds wherever it passes. Its current contract with the GOC Nice extends until 2026, but a start from this summer seems to be possible.
The interest of Al-Diraiyah, newly promoted in Saudi D2, is particularly noteworthy, as reported by journalist Loïc Tanzi. The French striker, author of 11 goals last season, is currently in negotiations with the Saudi club. This potential destination could have an additional dimension for Laborde, who could find Sabri Lamouchi, the club’s coach, who had already worked with him during his visit to Rennes.
This potential transfer represents an interesting opportunity for Gaëtan Laborde, offering him a new professional challenge in a growing championship. Al-Diraiyah’s interest is evidence of his talent and market value. If the operation takes place, it could mark a turning point in her career and allow her to flourish in a different sporting environment.
