A new chapter appears to be opening for Monaco! Following Élie Okobo, who is strongly linked with a move to Dubai, Alpha Diallo is reportedly heading to Spain, where Matthew Strazel is also rumored to be joining. According to information from Lucas Clemente, a journalist for Mundo Deportivo, Diallo has signed with FC Barcelona.
If this transfer materializes, it would undoubtedly be an excellent acquisition for the Catalan club. They would secure the services of the Euroleague’s Best Defender for the 2025/26 season. Diallo, who was present for almost all of Monaco’s C1 games this season (except the last), has had the best season of his career, averaging 11.9 points and 4.4 rebounds in the competition.
The Duo with Mike James to be Rekindled?
Another factor that could facilitate Alpha Diallo’s arrival at Barça is the potential signing of Mike James. According to their teammate Jaron Blossomgame, Barcelona is the preferred destination for the Euroleague’s all-time leading scorer. However, James himself stated earlier this week that he has not yet discussed terms with any team.
