Famalicão defender Ibrahima Ba’s agent Alioune Seck has responded to transfer interest from other clubs, including Aston Villa. 

The centre-back joined the Portuguese club on a permanent move in July 2024 and spent his debut season with their reserve team. Therefore, he had to wait until the end of that season to make his first team debut.

Ba has been with Famalicão’s first team this season and his form has caught Aston Villa and others’ attention.

The Senegalese has made 20 appearances in all competitions for the Primeira Liga side this season.

His stats per game in the league are as follows:

• Interceptions: 1.6
• Tackles: 1.0
• Balls recovered: 3.4
• Dribbled past: 0.06
• Clearances: 4.3
• Blocked shots: 0.8
• Duels won: 3.9
• Errors leading to goal: 0

Earlier this week, Sport Witness relayed news that Unai Emery’s side and Stade Rennais have both expressed interest in the defender. The same source reported FC Porto, Sporting, SC Braga, Benfica and Vitória Guimarães are also keen.

Two days ago, the Portuguese club rewarded him with a new contract until 2030.
