Personal life

Diallo is of Senegalese descent.[18][19]

In November 2021, Diallo's Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kheira Hamraoui was assaulted in the street after two masked men dragged her from a club-issued car driven by Diallo, who was pinned down but not seriously injured herself. On 10 November 2021, Diallo was arrested on suspicion of arranging the attack.[20] After 36 hours, Diallo was released from police custody without any charges being filed against her.[21][22] After further investigation she was re-arrested in September 2022 on charges of serious bodily harm.[13] Placed under judicial supervision and forbidden from entering Paris or contacting her former team[23] as the investigation was conducted, Diallo contested her innocence to the press in October 2022, saying that she did not know the four men (charged with conducting the attack) who alleged she hired them.[24]
