Lamine Diaby has completed a loan move from Atlètic Lleida to CFJ Mollerussa, joining the club on a temporary deal starting 2026-02-02 and running until 2026-06-30. The central midfielder, who holds both Spanish and Senegalese nationality, will spend the remainder of the season with the Mollerussa side before returning to Atlètic Lleida at the end of the loan.
The transfer is officially registered as a loan transfer, with no permanent fee disclosed in the available data. Diaby switches from Atlètic Lleida, who compete in the Segunda Federación – Group III, to CFJ Mollerussa, whose league is listed as N/A in the current records. His market value was last recorded at €25,000 while at Atlètic Lleida, although no separate market valuation is listed for the move to Mollerussa.
Diaby, 21, arrives at CFJ Mollerussa as a central midfielder by trade, capable of operating in the middle of the park and comfortable with both feet. Standing at 1.90 m and born in Lleida, he represents a physically imposing option in midfield, offering his new club additional height and versatility in central areas.
The loan continues a recent sequence of short-term steps in his career. Before joining Atlètic Lleida, Diaby spent a prolonged period without a club, with successive registrations listed simply as “Without Club” across Spanish registration entities from 2023 through 2024. His return to structured club football came when he signed for CE Atlètic Lleida, where his performances were strong enough for Transfermarkt to assess his market value at €25,000 in late 2025.
From Atlètic Lleida’s perspective, the move temporarily removes one midfield option from a squad competing in Spain’s fourth tier, but the club retains control of his long-term future, with the data confirming he is due to go back to Atlètic Lleida when the loan expires on 2026-06-30. That scheduled return also means there is a clear point at which Diaby’s status could again change, including the possibility of him becoming a free agent should his parent club choose not to extend his stay beyond the end of his existing arrangement.
For CFJ Mollerussa, this is a low‑risk opportunity to integrate a young, dual‑nationality midfielder who has already been assessed at a five‑figure market value and has been active in the Segunda Federación environment. The move also keeps Diaby within Spanish football, despite his Senegalese eligibility, maintaining his development in the country of his birth while preserving potential future pathways at both club and international level.
As the loan period unfolds, Diaby’s performances in Mollerussa colours will shape how Atlètic Lleida approach his next step: a reintegration into their first team, a permanent move elsewhere, or a transition into free agency once his contractual obligations are fulfilled at the end of the loan.
