Born in Memni, Alépé Department, Ivory Coast, Diakité moved to Italy at a young age. Diakité was a player for Madonna Alta Perugia in 2007.[1] He was a player for the reserve team of Calcio Padova from 2009 to 2012.[2] He made his Serie B debut in the last round of 2011–12 Serie B.

On 20 August 2012, he was signed by Lega Pro Prima Divisione (ex–Serie C1) club AlbinoLeffe in temporary deal, with Matteo Piccinni moved to opposite direction.[3] Padova did not sign Piccinni outright; AlbinoLeffe also did not excise the option on Diakité.[4]

On 6 August 2014, he was signed by Casertana.[5]
