Abdou Diallo, born on May 4, 1996, in Tours, France, is a professional footballer who represents Senegal internationally. He primarily plays as a central defender, known for his defensive capabilities and an ability to contribute to the build-up play. Diallo began his youth career at various clubs, including OC Saint-Herblain and AS Monaco, where he signed his first professional contract on March 28, 2014, at the age of 17. His early career at Monaco included a loan spell at Belgian club Zulte Waregem in the 2015-2016 season, where he gained significant first-team experience and scored three goals in 33 league matches.
Following his time at Monaco, where he won the Ligue 1 title in the 2016-2017 season, Diallo moved to Germany, joining Bundesliga club Mainz 05 in July 2017. He quickly established himself as a key defender, making 27 league appearances and scoring two goals. His consistent performances earned him a transfer to Borussia Dortmund in June 2018 for €28 million, where he continued to develop his profile, playing 28 league matches and scoring once. In July 2019, Diallo returned to France, signing with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for €32 million. During his tenure at PSG, he secured multiple domestic titles, including two Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies, one Coupe de la Ligue, and three Trophée des Champions. He also reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2020.
In September 2022, Diallo was loaned to RB Leipzig, where he added a DFB-Pokal title to his honors. He then moved to Qatar Stars League club Al-Arabi in August 2023, and subsequently joined Al-Duhail on loan in September 2025. Internationally, Diallo initially represented various French youth national teams, even captaining France’s under-21s. In 2021, he made the decision to represent Senegal, his country of descent, and played a crucial role in the national team’s historic victory at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. He also participated in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where Senegal reached the round of 16. For his contributions to Senegalese football, he was awarded the Grand Officer of the National Order of the Lion in 2022.
