Diop made his senior debut with the reserves on 23 August 2014, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 Segunda División B away win against CD Lealtad. He scored his first goal eight days later, netting the last in a 5–0 home routing of UP Langreo.
On 11 August 2015 Diop signed a new five-year deal with the club, running until 2020. He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 12 December of that year, replacing Nolito in the dying minutes of a 1–0 home success over RCD Espanyol.
