Mahamadou Diawara

Recent reports from April 2026 state Olympique Lyonnais has lowered its asking price to around €1.5 million. In February 2026, both Genoa and Brøndby were linked with similar loan-to-buy deals, with Genoa reportedly proposing a €250,000 loan fee and a €3 million purchase option, and Brøndby considering an option valued at approximately €3 million. This followed his September 2025 loan move from Lyon to Antwerp, which was completed for a reported €250,000 fee and included a €3 million purchase option. An earlier rumour in August 2025 had suggested a higher purchase option of €3.5 million for the same move.

Our valuation for Mahamadou Diawara is shaped by conflicting but recent reports. The lower bound is set by Olympique Lyonnais's recently reported asking price of €1.5 million as of April 2026. The upper bound is established by the consistent €3 million purchase options included in his loan to Antwerp and discussed by both Genoa and Brøndby in early 2026. The estimated value reflects a likely compromise, considering Lyon's clear intent to sell against sustained interest from multiple clubs.
