Assane Diao

Following his transfer from Real Betis to Como for a reported €11-12 million in January 2025, the player's value escalated rapidly. By April 2025, reports linked Manchester United and Nottingham Forest with potential €40 million offers, while Chelsea was reportedly preparing a €50 million bid. In July 2025, Como reportedly rejected a €44 million offer from an unnamed club and a separate €45 million bid from Nottingham Forest, setting their asking price at €75 million. Transfermarkt's valuation was cited as €30 million in both July 2025 and March 2026.

Our valuation is driven by multiple concrete reports from July 2025 of rejected bids for Assane Diao, specifically €44 million and €45 million. This is further supported by reported interest from Chelsea at a potential €50 million around the same time. While Como reportedly set a very high asking price of €75 million, our estimate is tempered by a more recent injury-disrupted season, making a fee closer to the previously rejected offers more realistic.
