Abdoulaye Niakhaté Ndiaye has officially joined Parma Calcio. Arriving from ES Troyes AC, the Senegalese centre-back has signed a five-year contract with the Italian top-flight club, keeping him at the club until June 2030. The deal was finalized on Monday, August 4, 2025.

The Emilia-based club made the 23-year-old defender its top summer target to bolster the heart of its defense. Negotiations with the French Ligue 2 side concluded swiftly after several weeks of discussions.

"Parma Calcio announces that Abdoulaye Ndiaye has been acquired from Espérance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne and has signed a contract until June 30, 2030. The left-footed centre-back, who was on loan at Stade Brestois 29 last season, made his debut in the Champions League, showcasing his adaptability to European international football. Today, he is ready to write a new chapter in the history of the Gialloblu defense," the Italian club stated in its official release.

After three seasons in France, Abdoulaye Niakhaté Ndiaye is on the move, packing his bags for Italy. Making a permanent switch from ES Troyes AC to Parma Calcio, the Senegalese defender is set to experience Serie A this season. He had already confirmed his departure this past weekend with a farewell message to Troyes supporters.
