It is understood that Brentford is one of several Premier League clubs monitoring Como winger Assane Diao. Liverpool, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Everton are also monitoring him. Manchester United are reportedly in the strongest position to sign the 21-year-old, and the club sent scouts to watch the Senegal international in recent matches. Italian clubs Atalanta and Roma are also showing interest. Como are not under immediate pressure to sell because Diao's contract runs until 2029 and the club is competing in the Champions League. The club is reportedly seeking a transfer fee of around €50-55 million. Diao, who also holds Spanish citizenship, joined Como in July 2025 and has earned 9 caps for Senegal. His current market value is €35.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
