Lyon has no intention of losing control of the gem born in 2005 Mahamadou Diawara, who renewed with the club for another season. The French club has announced that the automatic renewal of the young talent taken a year ago from Paris Saint-Germain has been triggered: the new contract will therefore expire in 2028. In his first season as a professional, the 19-year-old French-Malian midfielder played 12 matches between Ligue 1 and Coupe de France, showing off great physical and technical skills.
Diawara is known for his ability to adapt to different midfield positions. He can play both as a midfielder and as a midfielder, showing considerable tactical flexibility. He is equipped with good individual technique, confident ball control and good dribbling, which allows him to overcome opponents in one-on-one situations. His ability to distribute play with both short and long passes is also good, as well as his tactical intelligence: he knows when to move forward to support the attack and when to stay in position to cover defensively. He has good positional sense and is effective in pressing and intercepting opponent passes.
