Perspective
In 2016, Diarra joined Tercera División side UDC Txantrea,[3] where he became a spotlight and scored 15 goals during the campaign.[4] His performances attracted the interest of Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal CF,[5][6] and he joined the former in June,[7] which raised doubts over the club's signing policy.[8][9]
After playing for the farm team CD Basconia,[10] Diarra was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B ahead of the 2020–21 season. On 26 May 2021, he renewed his contract until 2023.[11]
On 13 July 2022, Diarra signed a two-year deal with Córdoba CF in Primera Federación,[12][13] with Athletic holding a buy-back clause.[14] He was a first-choice for the club during the 2023–24 campaign, scoring five goals in 41 appearances overall as they achieved promotion to Segunda División; on 1 July 2024, he departed the club after rejecting a contract renewal.[15]
On 5 July 2024, Diarra agreed to a three-year contract with CD Tenerife in the second division.[16] He made his professional debut on 19 August, replacing Álex Corredera in a 2–1 away loss to CD Eldense.
Diarra scored his first professional goal on 31 August 2024, netting the opener in a 2–2 draw at Cádiz CF. On 30 July of the following year, he moved to the latter club on a four-year deal.[17]
