The only things left to do are the last administrative steps, contract signature, and official announcement of Assane Diao’s transfer to Como 1907, which is being managed by former Spain player Cesc FÃ bregas. In order to complete this transfer, the Betis academy product is traveling to Italy tonight with the goal of joining the Lombardy-based team as their new player in a matter of hours.
The 19-year-old midfielder, who was born in Senegal but grew up in Badajoz, is flying to his new destination from San Pablo Airport in Seville, where he arrived moments ago with his family and attorney. As he starts this new chapter in his career, he is scheduled to start the customary medical exams and paperwork first thing tomorrow morning.
The transfer fee for Assane to Como is set to be between €11 million and €12 million. Additionally, Betis will retain 20% of the economic rights to the player, offering potential benefits in the event of a future sale. This deal marks the first significant operation for Los Verdiblancos in the winter transfer window, where their priority is to bolster Pellegrini’s attacking options.
Meanwhile, the team intends to use Jesús RodrÃguez, another academy product who has already made a number of encouraging outings with the team, to take Diao’s place in the starting lineup. He is considered to be one of the gems of Betis’ youth system, and the team and coaching staff are closely fostering his growth to make sure he finally reaches his full potential after acclimating to the elite level gradually.
