Pape Maly Diamanka (born 10 January 1990) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Zaragoza as a central midfielder.

Club career

Born in Dakar, Diamanka began his career with local US Gorée. In February 2010 he joined Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera División and being a regular in his first full season, starting in 23 games and completing 20 as the Madrid outskirts team retained its Segunda División B status.

On 13 June 2011 Diamanka renewed his contract with Rayo, with a €6 million buyout clause, also being promoted to the main squad for the 2011–12 campaign.[1] He spent several months sidelined because of bureaucratic problems.[2]

Diamanka made his official debut with Rayo Vallecano on 8 January 2012, playing 32 minutes as a substitute in the 2–1 La Liga home win against Sevilla FC.[3] On 23 August he moved on a season-long loan to Norway's Vålerenga Fotball, with the option for a permanent deal.[4]

After being released by Rayo, Diamanka moved to Salamanca AC but, after the club failed to play in any division, he joined Sestao River Club on 26 August 2013.[5] On 18 July of the following year he signed for CD Leganés, newly promoted to Segunda División.[6]

Diamanka scored his first professional goal on 21 September 2014, netting his team's first in a 2–2 home draw against Racing de Santander.[7] On 29 June 2015 he terminated his link, and signed a three-year deal with Real Zaragoza also in the second level.[8]

International career

Diamanka represented Senegal at various youth levels. In August 2011 he was called up by the senior team for a friendly with Morocco in Dakar,[9] but eventually did not make his debut.
