According to Fabrizio Romano, Como is nearing an agreement with Real Betis for the transfer of nineteen-year-old right winger Assane Diao. The transfer fee is reportedly over eleven million euros. It is noted that trainer Cesc Fabregas has personally communicated with Diao, which is seen as a pivotal element in facilitating this transfer. Although Feyenoord had previously shown interest and attempted to sign Diao, even bringing him to Rotterdam for a medical examination on the final day of the summer transfer window, the deal did not materialize. Feyenoord had intended to revisit negotiations in September 2024, but it now seems that Como is poised to finalize Diao’s transfer.
Feyenoord was very close to acquiring Assane Diao last summer. Diao was even spotted in Rotterdam for a medical examination on the last day of the transfer market. However, the transfer ultimately failed, and Feyenoord did not sign any winger last summer.
Como is hereby ready to finalise the deal to land in the 18-year-old wonderkid from Real betis.
