It's official. Djibril Soumaré has departed SC Braga, signing a three-year deal with Stoke City. The 23-year-old Senegalese midfielder spent last season on loan from the Arsenalistas at Sheffield United, where he made 27 appearances and registered one assist. He now moves to another English Championship side, Stoke, who are reportedly paying the António Salvador-led SAD a fee of €4 million for the African player's services.
Djibril Soumaré arrived in Braga at the start of the 2021/2022 season, initially to complete his development. He subsequently featured for the U23s and the B team of the Minho Warriors, eventually making his senior debut for Braga, accumulating two appearances during the 2023/2024 season.
The following season saw him move to Madeira to play for Nacional (25 matches, one goal, and one assist), and he is now establishing himself on British soil. After Sheffield United, he joins Stoke in a permanent transfer.
