On 21 June 2023, Diakité signed up for Ligue 1 club Stade de Reims on a five-year contract.[7]

International career

Diakité was called up to the Ivory Coast for a set of 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches in June 2022.[8] He was removed from the squad on 6 June 2022, with a minor injury in training.[9][10] He debuted in a 1–0 win over Lesotho on 9 September 2023.[11]

In December 2023, he was named in the 27-man squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations hosted in Ivory Coast.[12][13] During the quarter-final match against Mali, he scored the winning goal in the stoppage time of extra time, securing a 2–1 victory and qualification to the semi-finals, which he would miss due to receiving a second yellow card following his celebration.[14]
