Brahima Diarra is one of the Terriers’ brightest prospects, but he looks set to depart the club in the transfer window next month
Diarra, whose contract is set to expire in the summer of 2024, is being eyed up by second tier clubs, and the Town hierarchy are set to sell one of their better young talents instead of letting the Malian run his contract down until the end.
“Huddersfield will cash in on midfielder Brahima Diarra in the window – with Championship interest,” Nixon stated on his Patreon page:
“Diarra was linked with Leicester City during their Premier League tenure, and they may return with an offer.”
“Terriers will sell Diarra rather than let his contract expire.”
“Darren Moore is hoping for some early arrivals with his transfer team working on a surprise foreign capture.”
Diarra’s contract expires in June, at which point he would be free to leave the club, thus the Terriers cannot be chastised for selling him in January instead.
Furthermore, a player of Diarra’s talent will not be keen to stay put at a club who are flirting with relegation for the second consecutive season, especially amid interest from a Leicester side who are more than likely to be in next season’s Premier League.
But, perhaps it is not all bad for the Terriers, who could have a successful January window if Moore’s transfer plans come to fruition, particularly if the foreign capture mentioned above turns out to be a gem.
How much could Huddersfield Town sell Brahima Diarra for?
As per Transfermarkt, Diarra’s market value is £300,000, but with the 20-year-old’s contract expiring the end of the season, potential suitors such as the Foxes could lure him away from the Terriers for even less.
However, with the risk of Diarra departing for free in the summer, it is easy to see why the Terriers are keen to cash in on the midfielder in January.
The upcoming transfer window also presents the Foxes with an opportunity to secure their man for a cheap sum, rather than wait until the summer when other clubs may be queuing up for the signature of a free agent.
Diarra could be a good signing for the Foxes
The midfielder has made 14 appearances for the Terriers this campaign, and despite making just five starts he has created one assist this season.
Enzo Maresca is a manager who is really getting the best out of the Foxes’ young talent, such as 19-year-old Abdul Issahaku Fatawu and Mads Hermansen who, at 23, is young for a Championship goalkeeper.
Maresca is a boss who could really get the best out of Diarra, and it will be exciting for all to see what the Mali under-23 international could achieve alongside the likes of quality footballers such as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Diarra could be the latest of a whole host of exciting signings for the Foxes.
