Club career

[edit]

Diop signed for Belgian side Zulte Waregem in September 2022, but would have to wait until October of the same year before he could train with his new side, due to work permit issues.[3][4][5]

On 27 June 2025, Diop officially signed for French club Strasbourg for a fee of €7.5 million, including bonuses.[6] On 31 August 2025, he was loaned out to German side 1. FC Nürnberg for the season.[7] He was recalled by parent club Strasbourg on 6 January 2026, after 10 appearances for the club.[8]

On 7 January 2026, Diop moved on a new loan to Toulouse.[9]

International career

[edit]

Diop was called up to the Senegalese under-20 side for the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.[10] He scored in Senegal's 3–0 win over Mozambique, which sent Senegal through to the knockout stage.[11]
