Assane Diao, the promising 19-year-old winger born in Ndongane, Senegal, is on the verge of making a significant leap in his football career.
After showcasing his talents at Real Betis, where he honed his skills and made a name for himself, Diao is set to join Como, the Serie A club led by Spanish football icon Cesc Fabregas.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that the transfer deal, valued at an impressive 11 million Euros, is nearing completion.
This move marks a turning point for Diao, who has been on the radar of top European clubs, including FC Porto.
However, the allure of working under Fabregas and being part of an ambitious project at Como appears to have sealed the deal.
At Como, Diao will share the pitch with experienced players like Sergio Roberto, a former Barcelona stalwart, and Nico Paez, who once donned Real Madrid’s colours.
These seasoned professionals, alongside Fabregas’ guidance, promise to provide a nurturing environment for the young star to thrive.
This transfer underscores Diao’s immense potential and the growing recognition of Senegalese talent on the global stage.
With his speed, skill, and determination, Diao is poised to make a lasting impact in Italy and beyond.
