According to the Italian newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, AC
Milan (Italy)
Latium
and Premier League side Brentford have both shown a keen interest in Real Betis' 18-year-old striker Assane Diao.
Born on September 7, 2005, Assane Diao holds dual Spanish and Senegalese citizenship and comes from the Betis youth system. Last season, Diao made 24 appearances for Betis' first team and scored four goals, showing his great potential as a young striker.
Lazio president Claudio Lotito and sporting director Angelo Fabbiani have publicly praised Diao and expressed strong interest in the starlet. Meanwhile, AC Milan and Brentford are also keeping a close eye on Diao.
It is reported that Diao has a €30 million release clause in his contract, but Betis are asking for at least €15 million. Considering Diao's youth and potential, that price could be a worthwhile investment for clubs looking to make a return in the future.
Currently, Diao's future destination is still undecided, but his performance and potential have attracted the attention of several top European clubs. As the transfer market continues to operate, Diao's transfer dynamics will become the focus of attention of major media and fans.
