Kayserispor’s transfer move collapsed at the last minute. Lois Diony had agreed in principle with the Yellow-Reds, but a late price hike scuppered the deal. The 33-year-old striker has now joined Omonia Lefkoşa in KKTC, reshaping the club’s attack plans.
The deal was set to bolster Kayserispor’s 2026-27 squad. Lois Diony had agreed terms, but his representatives upped the fee at the final hour. With the club already 17th in the Süper Lig (30 points, 6 wins, 12 draws, 16 losses) and 27 goals scored, 62 conceded, the sudden loss of a proven finisher forced a rethink.
Diony’s name had also been linked with Batman Petrolspor earlier in the window. Kayserispor’s recent run-two wins, one draw, two losses in the last five (WWLLD)-showed they needed more firepower. The 2-1 home win over Konyaspor on 17 May 2026 lifted spirits, but the squad still needed depth.
The French striker has signed for Omonia Lefkoşa in KKTC. The move strengthens the Cypriot side, leaving Kayserispor to fill the gap.
The club is back in the transfer market, hunting for a replacement forward. Galatasaray lead by 47 points, so every point counts. With two straight wins under their belt, the Yellow-Reds need to keep momentum while reshaping the squad.
Kayserispor’s 2026-27 season is taking shape. Fans and staff alike are now watching the next moves-both in the transfer window and on the pitch-as the club fights to climb clear of the drop zone.
