Angers extend contract of Guinean youngster Mamadou Diallo until 2029

French club Angers SCO have extended the contract of highly-rated young striker Mamadou Diallo, keeping the Guinean-origin forward at the club until 2029.

The 16-year-old has been rewarded for his steady development through the Angers academy, with the club demonstrating its belief in his potential by handing him an additional year on his existing professional contract.

Diallo joined Angers at just six years old in 2016 and has spent the majority of his football development at the French club.

Having progressed through the various youth categories, the teenage striker has gradually climbed the ranks and continues to establish himself as one of the promising young players within the Angers setup.

His development has been carefully managed by the club, with Diallo making progress from the academy ranks to the U19 level.

The young forward has already featured three times for Angers’ U19 side this season, gaining valuable experience as he continues his transition towards senior football.

His latest contract extension represents another important step in his development and highlights the confidence Angers have in his long-term potential.

Diallo initially signed his first professional contract with the club in October last year, with the agreement originally running until 2028.

However, Angers have now moved to extend that deal by another year, ensuring the striker remains tied to the club until 2029.

The decision reflects the club’s desire to retain and nurture one of its promising academy products rather than allow his development to be disrupted.

For Diallo, remaining at Angers provides him with the opportunity to continue developing in familiar surroundings while working towards eventually breaking into the senior team.

The striker will now be hoping to build on his early appearances for the U19 side and continue attracting the attention of the club’s senior coaching staff.

With his new contract secured until 2029, Angers have made it clear that they see a long-term future for Diallo and are prepared to invest in his development as he takes the next steps towards professional football.

The teenager’s journey at Angers began when he was only six years old, and the latest contract extension represents another significant milestone in what the club hopes will become a successful career.
