Pape Gueye, a 27-year-old Senegalese midfielder, has entered Al-Ahli's plans to strengthen their midfield this summer. The Villarreal CF player has not yet received a formal offer, and the club has him under contract until 2028, but various sources value him around 40 million euros.

The Saudi interest comes as the Castellon team prepares to start LaLiga under the guidance of Iñigo Pérez. Villarreal does not need to sell the player and would only consider his departure if they receive an offer that allows them to search for a replacement in the market.

Villarreal CF sets Pape Gueye's price at 40 million

According to L'Équipe, Al-Ahli has Gueye on the list for the midfield due to uncertainties surrounding the future of Franck Kessié. At this point, it remains mere interest with no official proposal presented to Villarreal.

The contractual situation favors the Spanish club. Gueye signed as a free agent in July 2024 and is tied to Villarreal until June 30, 2028, meaning the club is not pressured by an imminent contract expiration in this transfer window.

His market value currently stands at 40 million euros, the same amount that reports indicate Villarreal would demand for a transfer to be considered. This would give the club financial room to look for another midfielder if they eventually agree to his departure.

Gueye has drawn interest from other teams this summer. Everton has also been linked to the Senegalese international, with figures close to 28 million euros mentioned from England, significantly lower than Villarreal's valuation.

Al-Ahli has already made significant investments this summer

The financial power of Al-Ahli keeps the deal alive. In July, the Saudi team secured the arrival of Francisco Trincão from Sporting Portugal for up to 50 million dollars, after previously spending substantial amounts on players like Ivan Toney and Galeno.

This track record requires Villarreal CF to monitor any developments closely. An offer nearing 40 million euros would place them in a different scenario compared to Everton's interest, allowing them to assess the economic value of a potential transfer.

Gueye's performance in the 2025/26 season justifies the attention. The midfielder played 39 official matches, scoring five goals for Villarreal, including 30 games and five goals in LaLiga. Additionally, he was recognized as the best African player of the season in the Spanish league.

A flag bearer for the Senegal national team

His contribution extended to Senegal, where Gueye featured in 16 international games, scoring six goals during the season, participating in both the Africa Cup of Nations and the 2026 World Cup.

The next move now lies with Al-Ahli. Should the Saudi club convert their interest into an offer close to 40 million, Villarreal will have to decide whether to keep Pape Gueye or leverage the deal to reinvest before the transfer window closes. The later the proposal arrives, the narrower the window to find a replacement ahead of the initial LaLiga fixtures.
