Playing career

edit

In March 2007 Bayal Sall signed a contract with IK Start. But three months later, having never played a game for the club, he signed for AS Saint-Étienne. Start brought the matter to FIFA and on 3 December 2007 Sall was handed a four-month ban due to start in July 2008 and Saint-Étienne were ordered to pay $150,000 in compensation to the Norwegian club.[1]

In January 2012 Bayal Sall went on a six-month loan to AS Nancy-Lorraine.[2] He was put aside by the management in Saint-Étienne, according to him because of personal problems with manager Christophe Galtier, and therefore not playing anymore.[3]

He joined Qatari club Al-Arabi during the summer of 2016.[4]

He agreed the termination of his contract with Royal Antwerp of the Belgian First Division A in April 2018.[5]

A free agent since leaving Antwerp, Bayall Sall returned to France joining Championnat National side AS Lyon-Duchère in July 2019.[5]

In April 2021, he signed a contract with Al Faisaly of Jordan.
