Ousmane Diakité said he is happy to be extending his stay for another year. He also expressed his pride and determination to keep improving and making the fans happy. He stated that the place feels like home and that he loves West Bromwich Albion, the fans and the people that work there.

Albion have activated a clause, which means Ousmane Diakite will be part of the squad next season. The Malian's initial contract was scheduled to expire this summer and included an option for the club to extend his contract for an additional 12 months.

Malian defensive midfielder Ousmane Diakite, 25, signed an initial two-year deal with West Brom in the summer of 2024, with a 12-month extension option included. West Brom may trigger the contract option to extend Ousmane Diakite's stay beyond the end of this season. There is a possibility that West Brom may trigger the contract option in order to receive a fee for his services in a summer sale. The uncapped Mali international has made 24 appearances and scored one goal in the Championship this season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €800k.
