Guinean midfielder Amadou Diawara has emerged as a key target for Girona FC, with the Spanish club reportedly in advanced discussions to secure the services of the experienced international.
Currently unattached, Diawara has attracted interest from several European sides during the ongoing summer transfer window.
Girona have taken the lead in the race for the 26-year-old, opening negotiations with his representatives and considering a formal contract proposal.
A seasoned campaigner with stints in Italy’s Serie A and the Belgian Pro League, Diawara is weighing his options carefully.
Although Girona’s interest is said to be serious, the player is understood to be in no hurry to make a final decision, as he evaluates potential destinations.
Girona’s need for reinforcements in central midfield has accelerated their interest in the Guinean, who boasts a strong blend of experience and defensive discipline.
Having previously featured for clubs such as Napoli, AS Roma, and Anderlecht, Diawara brings a level of tactical awareness and ball-winning ability that Girona manager Míchel Sánchez is reportedly keen to add to his squad.
While Girona may be the frontrunners, they are not without competition.
Other La Liga outfits, including Levante and Getafe, have shown interest in Diawara’s situation.
Beyond Spain, clubs such as AEK Athens, AEK Larnaca, Valencia, and Real Betis Balompié are all monitoring developments closely, according to the same source.
Speaking on Diawara’s potential next move, former Guinea international Souleymane Camara stated: “A return to Italy will be beneficial for Amadou Diawara,” hinting that Serie A could also still be an option should the right opportunity present itself.
However, former national teammate Kanfory Sylla took a more pragmatic view: “The main thing is to play, regardless of the level.” That sentiment reflects the growing urgency for Diawara to secure consistent playing time ahead of the upcoming international calendar.
According to Transfermarkt, Diawara’s current market value is estimated at €700,000—an appealing figure for clubs seeking experienced midfield depth without the burden of a transfer fee.
As negotiations continue behind closed doors, Girona appear eager to finalise a deal before the window closes.
Whether Diawara opts for the Catalan outfit or explores another avenue, his next move promises to be one of the more intriguing free-agent stories of the summer.
