Cardiff are yet to release their retained list for 2018/19 which leaves Oumar Niasse’s future up in the air. The 29-year-old spent the second-half of the season on loan at Cardiff, making 13 appearances in all competitions, and Paul Joyce of The Times says the Bluebirds have the option to buy Niasse this summer.
Cardiff released their 2017/18 retained list on June 13, 2018 so this season’s list may still be a fortnight away from being revealed. It’s likely to state that Niasse has returned to Everton following his loan spell in Wales and the club have opted against triggering his buying option.
