Grady Diangana is attracting interest from Parma, Celta Vigo and Burnley as his West Brom contract winds down, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian journalist posted on X (23 January) that with Diangana in line to be a free agent next season, the three clubs are all keen on signing him, with Burnley already launching a proposal.

Albion's Championship promotion rivals have already offered Diangana a deal, but the 26-year-old has turned down the contract, with Parma and Celta Vigo yet to make moves of their own.

With Diangana's contract well into its final six months at The Hawthorns, Albion decision-makers have a decision to make over the long-term future for their Congolese forward.

Diangana, having played a key role in the Baggies' last successful promotion to the Premier League, is into his sixth season with the West Midlands club, but this campaign has been stop-start at best.

Injury worries picked up in both pre-season and at several points of this term have seen Diangana reduced to just seven league starts thus far, with the rest of his 19 appearances coming via the bench.

He has still been able to chip in with two goals, including the equaliser against Stoke in their last home game, but could be faced with looking for a new club – like Burnley, Celta or Parma – in the summer.

If Tony Mowbray manages to get back to the Premier League, it remains to be seen if Diangana is up to the level.
