A club playing in Europe

Moving from Reims, a club relegated to Ligue 2, to Nice, a team battling at the top of Ligue 1, the Senegal international goalkeeper now has the chance to play in the Champions League qualifiers.

A fantastic opportunity to aim even higher in the future.

Filling the post-Bulka gap

By signing with Le Gym, the Montreuil native is in the running for the number one spot. The position is now up for grabs following the departure of Marcin Bulka, who had been the first-choice keeper and has moved to Neom SC in Saudi Arabia. It's up to him to seize this golden opportunity!

Continuity for Diouf

Targeted by several clubs across Europe, notably in Italy by Fiorentina and Torino, the 25-year-old keeper chose to continue his adventure in France—a league he knows inside out. This means he won't need any adaptation period.
