Modibo Diakité (born 21 March 1987) is a French professional footballer who plays for Italian side Ternana as a central defender.
Born in Bourg-la-Reine, Diakité moved to Italy at early age, and joined Sampdoria's youth setup. In 2004, he moved to Pescara, being initially assigned to the Primavera team.
Diakité made his first-team debut on 28 May 2006, in a 0–0 away draw against Mantova for the Serie B championship. Despite only playing one match for the first team, the 19-year-old Pescara youth product was recognized by giants Lazio, who signed him at the end of the 2005–06 season in co-ownership deal for €250,000.
Although spending the vast majority of his first campaign appearing with the youth squad, Diakité made his first-team – and Serie A – debut on 1 April 2007, replacing Guglielmo Stendardo in the dying minutes of a 4–2 away win against Udinese. His first start came late in the month, in a 0–1 home loss against Fiorentina, also having a goal disallowed.
In June 2007 Lazio signed Diakité outright for another €250,000, and he was handed a starting spot for the first match of the campaign, against Torino. However, he eventually broke his tibia in the 2–2 home draw, missing the remainder of the season.
On 27 November 2008, Diakité extended his link with the Biancazzurri until 2013. He played his first match after returning from injury on 3 December, starting in a 2–1 away win against Milan for the campaign's Coppa Italia.
