Deportivo Alavés has strengthened its defense by signing Moussa Diarra, a versatile 23-year-old French player who can play as a left-back and center-back. Diarra, an international player for Mali, joins from Toulouse in Ligue 1, where he played 54 top-tier matches and participated in the Europa League. He was part of the team that won the French Cup and was a runner-up in the French Super Cup in 2023. Diarra will join Alavés for training on Friday.

Málaga CF is preparing for the first leg of the playoff final against Nàstic de Tarragona, with coach Sergio Pellicer expected to maintain a consistent lineup. Key players like Genaro Rodríguez and Alfonso Herrero are anticipated to start, while Carlos Puga and Galilea are likely to be included in the defense. Pellicer emphasizes the importance of playing at the limit and making strategic changes during the match. The team's preparation has been emotionally challenging, but recent training sessions have shown improvement. The focus is on energy, passion, and strategic player substitutions to secure a favorable outcome.

Toulouse secured a 2-1 victory over Stade Rennes at Roazhon Park, with Cristian Cásseres and Moussa Diarra scoring to overturn an early lead by Rennes' Désiré Doué. This win marks Toulouse's third consecutive match without a loss, solidifying their mid-table position in Ligue 1, while Rennes suffers its third straight defeat, distancing itself from European competition spots.
