Ousmane Diao, hailing from the sun-drenched stretches of Senegal, was born on the 8th of June in 2004, making this formidable defender 21 years of age as of now. His footballing prowess has found a home at FC Midtjylland, where he primarily takes to the terrains as a central defender. Towering at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and tipping the scales at 12st 6lb (79kg), his staunch physical mettle is encapsulated in the number 4 jersey he proudly dons.
Renowned for his consistency on the pitch, Diao’s current market value stands somewhere around a hefty €7.50m, a figure that translates to roughly £6.5m, as stated by the esteemed web portal Transfermarkt.
His footballing journey first began to gather momentum during the 2022-2023 season at Mafra in Portugal. Fresh-faced and anxious to prove his worth, Diao made 13 first team appearances in his debut season, foreshadowing a promising career ahead. His second season (2023-2024) at Mafra saw him solidify his footing in the team, appearing 33 times and even notching up two goals, a commendable feat for a central defender.
In the 2024-2025 season, Diao decided to switch his footballing reincarnation to FC Midtjylland in Denmark. Despite the change in setting, his performance remained stalwart, and he appeared 25 times for his team while also adding four goals to his tally. Unfortunately, his current season (2025-2026) sees him yet to make a first team appearance for FC Midtjylland. Hope still abounds in the hearts of fans that the season will turn out successful for Diao and his club.
