Club career

Born in Bamako, Diakité played for local side Académie des Étoiles du Mandé before joining the youth categories of Cádiz CF in January 2022.[1] He made his senior debut with the latter's reserves late in that month, coming on as a second-half substitute for Luka Cvetićanin in a 4–0 Segunda División RFEF home loss to Córdoba CF.[2]

Diakité established himself as a regular starter for the B's during the 2022–23 season,[3] and made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 4 December 2023, replacing Rubén Alcaraz late into a 1–1 away draw against RC Celta de Vigo.[4][5]

On 26 August 2024, Diakité renewed his contract with the Andalusians until 2029.[6]

International career

On 8 July 2024, Diakité was included in the squad of the Mali national under-23 team for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[7]
