Chelsea and Liverpool are following Brentford's 21-year-old El Hadji Malick Diouf. Both clubs have made contact with the player's entourage to express their interest and are considering a transfer during the next summer transfer window. Diouf, who joined Brentford in August 2026, is under contract with the club until June 30, 2031, with an option for an additional year. His current club might find it difficult to allow him to leave in the coming months as he represents an important investment, having been signed from West Ham for a reported €40.8M. The Senegalese defender has 25 caps and one goal for his country. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at 35 million euros.
