Como push to secure Assane Diao with long-term deal

Como are moving to secure the future of standout winger Assane Diao. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club has prepared a new contract running until 2031, aiming to ward off significant interest from top European clubs following his impressive start to the season.

Diao has established himself as a vital piece of Cesc Fabregas' side, scoring twice in Serie A and netting in the historic 4-1 Champions League debut win over RB Leipzig.

Diao played his most complete match since he's been at Como. We need to educate these lads; they're twenty years old, and it's normal for them to play one match at an 8 and one at a 5. Today I really liked how he worked defensively: if he improves there, he can become a top player. Cesc Fabregas

After overcoming a broken foot sustained in April 2025, the 21-year-old has returned to peak fitness. He currently leads the Serie A dribbling charts with 16 successful take-ons in five matches. Alongside Nico Paz and Martin Baturina, Diao has helped transform Como into one of the league's most dangerous attacking outfits.
