TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Loan
Charlotte FC have loaned defender Hamady Diop to Serbian top-flight side FK Čukarički, the club announced Saturday. The deal lasts through Jan. 15, 2025.
Diop went No. 1 overall to Charlotte in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas. The Senegal native has played in just three MLS matches, accruing 35 minutes off the bench.
"A loan is the right move for Hamady at this time for his development as a player, and everyone at the club wishes him well during his spell at Čukarički," general manager Zoran Krneta said in a statement.
Last February, Charlotte transferred forward Vinicius Mello and defender Guzmán Corujo to FK Čukarički.
As Diop exits, Charlotte are sixth in the Eastern Conference during manager Dean Smith's first season. Their 23 goals against are the second-fewest in MLS.
