Breaking! Sporting keeping tabs on 19-year-old Werder Bremen centre-back | OneFootball

Karim Coulibaly is on Sporting’s list of players being monitored for the heart of the defence. The youngster, just 19 years old, is part of Werder Bremen’s squad and has also attracted interest from the English market.

The information was reported by journalist Luca Bendoni, who places the green-and-whites among the clubs keeping an eye on the centre-back’s situation. Nottingham Forest are also said to be interested in the player and therefore emerge as potential rivals to the Lions.

Coulibaly made 27 appearances for Werder Bremen last season, also scoring one goal, earning more playing time despite his young age. The defender’s performances are said to have caught the attention of several European clubs, and he has a release clause worth €50 million.

Sporting remain alert to opportunities to strengthen the centre of their defence, and the German centre-back’s name has now emerged among the players identified by the green-and-white structure, at a time when the Lions have lost Ousmane Diomande - but, on the other hand, secured the signing of Ibrahima Ba.

For now, there is no known offer from the Lions for the footballer. The interest is still at the monitoring stage, with Nottingham Forest also keeping an eye on any developments surrounding Karim Coulibaly.
