However, in July 2013 half of the registration rights[5] was swapped with half of the "card" of Crotone player Giuseppe Caccavallo. Diakité was trained separately from the squad since 21 July due to fitness problem.[6]
On 30 August 2013, Diakité left for Slovenian club Gorica.[7] The paperwork of his transfer was completed on 24 October.[8] In January 2014 the temporary deal was terminated.[9] During 2013 financial year the co-ownership between Crotone and Parma also terminated in favour of Parma, with Giuseppe Prestia moved to Crotone.[10]
