class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seattle Reign FC have completed the signing of <strong>Ivorian international forward Ami Diallo<\/strong> from ASEC Mimosas on a contract running through the <strong>2028 NWSL season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transfer sees the 25-year-old attacker move to the United States following a standout campaign in which she helped ASEC Mimosas retain their Ivorian Division 1 title and reach the <strong>CAF Women\u2019s Champions League final<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo joins Seattle for an agreed transfer fee and is expected to arrive in the coming weeks, pending receipt of her <strong>P-1 visa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>31 Goals and Another League Title<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo enjoyed a remarkable 2025\/26 domestic campaign with ASEC Mimosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forward scored <strong>31 goals<\/strong>, finishing second in the Ivorian Division 1 scoring charts, while helping the club secure their <strong>second consecutive league title<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her performances established Diallo as one of the leading attacking players in Ivorian women\u2019s football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now she will take those goalscoring numbers and attacking qualities to one of the world\u2019s most competitive women\u2019s leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CAF Champions League Breakthrough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo also made a major impact on the continental stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASEC Mimosas reached the <strong>2025 CAF Women\u2019s Champions League final<\/strong> in their first appearance in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across five matches, Diallo recorded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u26bd 3 goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udd70\ufe0f 1 assist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2b50 A two-goal, one-assist performance against Gaborone United<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That performance helped ASEC reach the semi-finals, while Diallo later scored <strong>ASEC\u2019s only goal in the final against Moroccan side AS FAR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although ASEC ultimately missed out on the trophy, Diallo\u2019s performances attracted significant attention across African women\u2019s football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recognition Among Africa\u2019s Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her outstanding season earned Diallo a place among the finalists for the <strong>2025 CAF Women\u2019s Interclub Player of the Year<\/strong> award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was one of just three players shortlisted for the prestigious individual honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That recognition further underlines the level of performance she produced before making the move to the NWSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Seattle Reign See Huge Potential<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seattle Reign FC General Manager <strong>Lesle Gallimore<\/strong> described Diallo as a dynamic attacking player with the ability to perform at a high level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gallimore highlighted her <strong>quality, athleticism and competitive mentality<\/strong>, while also pointing to her potential to continue developing in Seattle\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Reign believe Diallo\u2019s experience of competing internationally and at continental level will help her make the transition to the NWSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Diallo Excited for the Next Chapter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo is equally enthusiastic about the move to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m very excited to join Seattle Reign FC and begin this next chapter of my career in the NWSL.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forward added that she is looking forward to meeting her new teammates, competing in a new league and giving everything for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>International Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo also represents the <strong>C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire women\u2019s national team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was included in the squad for the <strong>2026 Women\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations<\/strong>, a significant tournament for C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire as they returned to WAFCON after more than a decade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo is part of a new generation of Ivorian players helping drive the country\u2019s resurgence in women\u2019s football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her move to the NWSL now provides another opportunity to develop at an international level while competing against some of the best players in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Transfer Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Player:<\/strong> Ami

Seattle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo arrives with a huge amount of momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her <strong>31-goal domestic season<\/strong>, Champions League performances and recognition among Africa\u2019s top players demonstrate that she has been producing consistently at a high level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest question will be how quickly she can adapt to the pace, physicality and tactical demands of the NWSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, her athleticism and attacking mentality could make her an exciting addition to Seattle\u2019s forward line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Transfer Tribune Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is one of the most fascinating women\u2019s transfers to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo has dominated domestically, performed on the continental stage and earned recognition as one of Africa\u2019s leading club players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now comes the biggest test of her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move to <strong>Seattle Reign FC and the NWSL<\/strong> gives her the platform to prove that her performances in Africa can translate to another elite women\u2019s football environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If she adapts quickly, this could be a transfer that attracts plenty of attention over the next two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do you think of this signing?
