Guinean international midfielder Amadou Diawara is about to embark on a new chapter by signing a two-year contract, with an optional additional season, with CD Leganés, recently relegated to Spain’s Segunda División. After a convincing stint at CD Eldense, where he successfully revived his career, Diawara opted for the stability and sporting project offered by Leganés rather than accepting an offer from Racing Club de Strasbourg, with salary disagreements ending talks.
The 27-year-old former AS Roma player arrived on the transfer market as a free agent and is expected to earn around 400,000 euros, including signing bonuses. His notable performance at Eldense, playing 12 matches and scoring 2 goals, attracted interest from other Spanish clubs such as Girona FC, Levante, and Getafe. However, it was Leganés’ strong project, reinforced by decisive discussions with his compatriot Seydouba Cissé, a current club player, that tipped the scales.
Valued around 700,000 euros, Diawara’s choice is a compromise between sporting ambition and financial stability as he aims to fully relaunch his career. With a background including stints at prestigious clubs like Napoli and Roma, he brings valuable top-level experience. Wearing the Leganés jersey, he hopes to become a key player and help the Madrid-based club return to La Liga in the near future.
