Ousmane Diomande will not move to Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace: Sporting CP determined to keep Ousmane Diomande
Ivorian international Ousmane Diomande is not expected to sign for Crystal Palace this summer.
According to Sky Sports, Ousmane Diomande is now considered out of reach by Crystal Palace’s management. The club had been looking to fill the gap left by Marc Guehi, who was sold to Manchester City in January and not replaced before the winter transfer window closed.
However, the situation has become more complicated since the Ivorian international extended his contract until June 2030, with a release clause set at €80 million. The English club had previously identified the defender as a strong candidate to succeed their former captain.
