SA Boulaye Dia maybe his career is over Salernitana. The 27-year-old French-Senegalese player refused to be substituted in the match played by his team, below Serie A, against Udinese (1-1) and his coach, Fabio Liveranithrew the cavalry at him after the collision, sending him a message of full intent to the world.
“Dia has decided that he doesn’t want to leave the field,” Liverani said on ‘DAZN’ about the former Villarreal player. There were “seven or eight minutes” left when Liverani wanted to replace his second most productive attacker (four goals this season). “This shouldn’t happen. He made a decision that I will consider in the future,” he stated categorically about Boateng’s teammate.
Liverani hinted that the footballer will not play again for Salernitana, where he has a contract until the summer of 2026: “The club will decide, but now I know that he is a player I cannot count on. Full stop. He is a problem for his teammates, not for me,” added the 47-year-old coach.
This is not Dia’s first controversy
The reasons for Dia’s behavior are unclear. He has been used in the last four games, including twice in the starting eleven. However, he caused controversy at the start of the season as his agent was negotiating a move to Wolverhampton without consulting Salernitana. Because of this, Dia had to pay a fine and was suspended for three matches.
