Freiburg have been rumored with a move for Ingolstadt midfielder Merlin Röhl to end the summer window. But, after losing Ermedin Demirovic to Augsburg and now Lucas Höler to injury, they are open to another addition up front. Michael Gregoritsch has impressed as the starting no. 9 through Matchday 2.
In 25 league appearances last season, 22-year-old Dieng scored 7 goals and added 3 assists. Benfica and Premier League sides are now chasing after his signature.
