Earlier this year, the English giant Manchester United signed young Malian talent Sekou Kone and continues to pursue its scouting operations.
They are now looking to add another Malian player, Daba Diakite, who currently plays for Djoliba AC, to their squad.
According to sources, the signing process for the 20-year-old midfielder has already begun. Diakite featured in five matches at AFCON and attracted the interest of major clubs.
However, Manchester United is now moving beyond interest and preparing to make an official offer. They plan to finalize a formal bid after convincing the player. With only three months remaining on his contract, his club is not expected to demand a significant fee.
Diakite is expected to make a major breakthrough in his game soon, and joining a big club could help him better showcase his talents.
