More About Diao Keita Baldé
Born March 8, 1995 in Arbúcies, Baldé is a Senegalese international football player, playing for AS Monaco. With a contract signed in 2014 in Lazio Rome, the young player has achieved a feat that earned him flowers. On April 23, 2017, Keita scored a hat-trick in five minutes against US Palermo (6-2). Only after he landed at AS Monaco in 2017 for 5 years. He has already played in the national team at qualifying matches for the 2017 African Cup of Nations in Gabon.
Keita started his career with FC Barcelona’s youth academy. In 2010, Keita travelled with the Barcelona youth team to Qatar for a tournament, where he played a practical joke by placing an ice-cube in a teammate’s bed.
As a punishment, Barcelona sent the 15-year-old Keita on loan to satellite club UE Cornellà, despite Keita’s reputation as a future prospect for the first team. The loan meant Cornellà held the rights to a fraction of Keita’s playing rights. After a season in which he scored 47 goals for Cornellà’s youth side, Keita turned down the chance to return to Barcelona, attracting the interest of Real Madrid and Manchester United.
With focus and determination, Keita have been growing strong in his career despite challenges.
