At just 21 years old, Issa Diop has already made a name for himself in the Ligue 1 with his impressive physical presence (194 cm, 90 kg) and outstanding performances. The Toulouse player, who has played 26 official matches and scored 2 goals this season, has caught the interest of several top international clubs.

Mundo Deportivo highlights today that FC Barcelona is closely monitoring the development of this talented player. Diop has also showcased his skills in the French national youth teams, winning the U19 European Championship in 2016 as a key member of the defense.
