For the 2018–19 season Diarra was loaned to Austrian Bundesliga club TSV Hartberg.[4] After suffering a cruciate ligament rupture, the loan contract was terminated in January 2019.

After six months on loan with TSV Hartberg, he returned to Red Bull Salzburg in January 2019.[5] After recovering from his injury, in August 2019 he played for the first time for the Red Bull Salzburg reserve team, FC Liefering.

On 29 August 2019, Diarra was loaned out to FC St. Pauli for the 2019–20 season.[6] After only three appearances for St. Pauli in the 2nd Bundesliga due to injury, his contract with the German club was terminated in January 2020 and he returned to Salzburg.

Diarra made his return from injury with FC Liefering during June 2020. On 11 June 2020, he scored his first goal as a professional in a 3–0 victory over Floridsdorfer AC.[7] On 24 June 2020, Diarra scored another goal in a 4–1 victory over Wacker Innsbruck.[8]

On 1 March 2021, Diarra moved to MLS side New York Red Bulls, on a loan deal.[9] On 17 April 2021, Diarra made his debut for New York, appearing as a starter in a 2–1 loss to Sporting Kansas City.

On 8 January 2022, Diarra moved to TSV Hartberg on another six-month loan – his second stint at the club.[10] He then returned to Salzburg for the 2022/23 season. He made seven Bundesliga appearances for Salzburg before the winter break.
