Abdoulaye Diallo (born 30 March 1992) is a former professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
He is a graduate of the Clairefontaine Academy and joined Rennes in 2007. Diallo made his professional debut, at the age of 17, on 29 November 2009, in a league match against Lyon. Born in France, he represented that nation's under-20 team, before switching to Senegal, representing his parents' country of birth.
Club career
=Early career=
Diallo began his football career playing for his hometown club Stade Reims, joining the club as a youth player. In 2004, he was selected to attend the Clairefontaine academy and spent three years at the facility training at the academy during the weekdays and playing for Reims on the weekend. He was the youngest player in his class and the only one born in 1992.{{cite web | url=https://www.pulse.sn/sports/football/abdoulaye-diallo-rebondit-a-nancy/mk6l0r5 | title=Abdoulaye Diallo rebondit à Nancy | date=11 August 2022 }} Prior to leaving Clairefontaine, Diallo agreed to join the nationally recognized youth academy of Stade Rennais on an aspirant (youth) contract. Rennes had been scouting the player since 2004.
=Rennes=
Diallo joined Rennes and was among a host of internationally recognized youth talents the club had comprised. These talents included youth internationals Elliot Sorin, Wesley Yamnaine, Jérémy Helan, who played for Manchester City in England, Abdoulaye Doucouré, and Axel Ngando. Diallo initially joined the club's under-18 team who were playing in their own league, the under-18 Championnat National. Rennes finished in 4th-place position, missing out on the playoffs.{{cite news |title=CHAMPIONNAT NATIONAL 18 ANS |url=http://www.fff.fr/competitions/php/championnat/championnat_classement.php?sa_no=2007&cp_no=133007&ph_no=1&gp_no=3 |work=French Football Federation |date=17 June 2008 |access-date=30 November 2009 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090211021101/http://www.fff.fr/competitions/php/championnat/championnat_classement.php?sa_no=2007&cp_no=133007&ph_no=1&gp_no=3 |archive-date=11 February 2009 |url-status=dead}} The 2008–09 season saw Diallo earn a place in the club's Coupe Gambardella team with the club attempting to defend their title from the previous season. In the tournament, the goalkeeper appeared in three matches and conceded four goals. Rennes suffered elimination in the Round of 16 losing to Le Havre.
Diallo was promoted to the club's Championnat de France amateur team for the 2009–10 season. He made his debut on 15 August 2009, earning a clean sheet in the team's 2–0 victory over US Sénart-Moissy.{{cite news |title=Moissy Cramayel v.

Antonetti preferred the 17-year-old ahead of Patrice Luzi and Florent Petit, the third and fourth goalkeeper, respectively.{{cite news |title=Stade Rennais – Le Mans : les groupes |url=http://www.stade-rennais-online.com/955-Stade-Rennais-Le-Mans-le.html |work=Stade Rennais F.C. |date=20 November 2009 |access-date=30 November 2009 | language = fr}} Diallo appeared on the bench in the Le Mans match, with Rennes earning a 2–1 victory.{{cite news|title=Rennes v.
