For Guinea international Amadou Diawara, 2019/20 is a season with a lot of significance.
This summer, the 22-year-old traded in San Paolo for the Olimpico, bundled, along with some cash, as part of a swap deal that saw Kostas Manolas rock up at Napoli.
It was one of those transfers that made sense for all parties involved. Despite outscoring champions Juventus, Napoli finished 11 points off the summit of the table. That seemed to suggest things could have been tighter at the back, and a reliable partner for the stalwart Kalidou Koulibaly was required.
