Early life Born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine, Diouf was raised in Nanterre. He started playing football at the age of 6 years, in the nearby La Garenne-Colombes.

He made his professional debut for Rennes on 9 May 2021, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 Ligue 1 home draw against his former club PSG.
