The transfer of Senegalese defender Ibrahima Ba (21) from Famalicao to Strasbourg has been canceled after a health issue was detected during his mandatory medical examination. Strasbourg coach Hugo Oliveira, who previously coached Ba at Famalicao, had strongly advocated for the signing. The four-year contract was set to be finalized, but the medical finding scuttled the deal. Portuguese media had reported a €15 million agreement (excluding bonuses) between the clubs. Ba, who has been injured, did not play in Famalicao's last three matches and is expected to return to Portugal in the coming hours.
