Foot Mercato reports that contrary to recent rumors, Senegalese striker Bamba Dieng did not fail a medical examination at Turkish club Amedspor. According to the outlet, Dieng never traveled to Turkey for the transfer. The deal, which had appeared to be on very good track, collapsed due to last-minute disruptions, including the arrival of new intermediaries and a modification of the conditions initially agreed upon between the parties. Faced with this change in the negotiation context, Dieng's camp decided to terminate the discussions before his departure. The report explicitly denies claims of a failed medical, stating such information is unfounded. The article is attributed to journalist El-Hadji Loum and was published on July 27, 2026.

Source report

Contrary to reports circulating in recent hours, Bamba Dieng did not fail his medical at Amedspor. In fact, the striker never traveled to Turkey at all.

According to our information, the player decided not to make the trip after a shift in the negotiation landscape, despite the deal initially appearing to be on very solid ground.

What Went Wrong

Several factors disrupted the final stages of the talks:

The arrival of new intermediaries
A change in the conditions originally agreed upon between the parties

Faced with these developments, Bamba Dieng's camp chose to halt negotiations before his departure. Reports of a failed medical are therefore entirely unfounded and do not reflect the reality of the situation.
