European giant moves to sign Diomande from Sporting | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande has been one of Sporting’s best players since he was signed from Mafra. The solid performances of the Ivorian center-back have impressed several European clubs and Liverpool is very interested in the defender.

According to information reported by DaveOCKOP – a website specialized and dedicated to exclusive news about the Reds – Sporting’s ‘number 26’ is one of Arne Slot’s targets, the manager of the Merseyside club, to strengthen the defense of the current English champions.

The same source adds that Liverpool has opened talks with the representatives of Nico Schlotterbeck from Dortmund, at a time when Ibrahima Konaté’s contract is coming to an end and the signing of Marc Guéhi has been complicated for the Reds.

Already looking to safeguard the future, in case they cannot recruit the English international from Crystal Palace, Liverpool has turned its attention to Ousmane Diomande, who was also closely followed by the Eagles in the summer transfer window, in order to strengthen their defense.

This season, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played seven matches for Sporting: three in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In total, the center-back has accumulated 497 minutes.
