A key factor in Diao’s decision to join Como was the personal intervention of Cesc Fabregas. The former Spanish international, now involved with Como, reached out directly to the young player, convincing him to embrace the club’s project. This personal touch appears to have been crucial in swaying Diao towards the move.

Diao, born in September 2005, is already a Spanish Under-21 international and is widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in Spanish football. His arrival would provide a significant boost to Como’s ambitions, particularly in their fight for Serie A survival.

Originally developed as a right-sided midfielder, Diao has evolved into a versatile attacking player. He is most comfortable operating on the right side of a front three but can also effectively play on the left, cutting inside to shoot or create chances for teammates. His skill set even allows him to function as a central striker when needed, utilizing his physicality and power to lead the line.
