Basel

On 18 July 2022, Diouf joined Basel in Switzerland on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[5] He joined Basel's first team for their 2022–23 season under head coach Alexander Frei. Diouf played his domestic league debut for his new club on 24 July 2022 in the home game in the St. Jakob Stadium as Basel played a 1–1 draw against Servette.[6] He scored his first goal for his new team on 13 October in the away game in the Tehelné pole stadium as Basel played in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League group stage against Slovan Bratislava. Diouf was substituted in for Wouter Burger in the 64th minute as Basel were 3–1 down and he scored just one minute later. His first shot was blocked, but he headed home the rebound. Just seven minutes later Basel equalised and the game ended in a 3–3 draw.[7]

On 2 May 2023, the option to buy was activated, with Diouf signing a four-year contract.[8] But, not quite two months later, the midfielder decided to move back to France.
