Born in Ndongane, the Como forward moved to Spain at a very young age... He is therefore eligible to don the jerseys of both La Roja and the Lions.

According to the Iberian press, the Spanish Football Federation is pushing hard to convince the player to wear the Team Nacional jersey, similar to their previous efforts with Lamine Yamal, who was also in the sights of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).

At 19, Assane Diao is also sought after by the Senegal national team, which would like to count on his services starting from the next international break, which will be marked by the return of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
