Returns to PSG Diallo's loan to RB Leipzig has comes to an end and will return to Ligue 1 side PSG.

Impact Diallo had only joined the team after Lukas Klostermann's long-term ankle injury at the beginning of season. However, he has failed to impress which resulted in just five league starts in eight appearances.

With Sergio Ramos departing from PSG, the defender could still make appearances, but will likely remain just a depth option with El Chadaille Bitshiabu the favorite of taking his spot, unless the club sign another center back during the summer transfer window.
