Aberdeen Sell Striker Pape Gueye to Kasimpasa for Significant Fee

Aberdeen have sold striker Pape Habib Gueye to Turkish Super Lig side Kasimpasa for a significant undisclosed fee, reportedly in excess of £850,000, marking a profitable transfer after acquiring him for around £500,000 from KV Kortrijk in August 2023. Gueye, 25, had a strong start at Aberdeen with six goals in the first eight games last season before a muscle injury sidelined him for four months. He made a notable impact as a substitute in Aberdeen's Scottish Cup final victory over Celtic in May, a highlight of his tenure. Kasimpasa, coached by former Rangers striker Shota Arveladze, finished 10th in the Turkish top flight last season. Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin expressed gratitude for Gueye's contributions and emphasized ongoing efforts to strengthen the squad, including pursuing other striker targets like Marko Lazetic. Gueye's move to Kasimpasa also comes with a significant salary increase, and the transfer deal included covering a sell-on clause for his former Belgian club.
