Club career

Born in Bouaké, Diabate was promoted to ASEC Mimosas' first team in September 2017, after a loan period at Ligue 2 side Ivoire Académie.[1] In August 2018, after 11 appearances in all competitions,[2] he signed for RCD Mallorca and was initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[3]

On 2 September 2019, after scoring 16 goals as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs, Diabate was loaned to Sevilla Atlético for one year, with a buyout clause.[4] Upon returning in July 2020, he was assigned back at Mallorca B.

Diabate made his first team debut for the Bermellones on 6 January 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute for Álex Alegría in a 2–2 away draw against CF Fuenlabrada, as his side was knocked out on penalties, for the season's Copa del Rey.[5] His Segunda División debut occurred four days later, as he replaced Dani Rodríguez in a 0–1 home loss against UD Las Palmas.[6]

On 1 February 2021, Diabate moved to Atlético Madrid B in the third division on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[7]

On 11 July 2023, Diabete completed a move to Västerås SK in Swedens second highest division Superettan on a 1½ contract. [8]
