Diomande not sealed yet: latest on Sporting exit | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest remain determined to reach an agreement with Sporting to secure the signing of Ousmane Diomande. Negotiations are still ongoing, although there are still differences to be resolved before the transfer can be completed.

Florian Plettenberg reports that the Premier League club is working intensively to find common ground with Sporting’s officials. "Forest are still working hard to reach an agreement for Ousmane Diomande. There is still work to be done," wrote the German journalist.

The centre-back was left out of the options for the friendly between Sporting and Nottingham Forest, played on Friday in the Algarve. The green-and-whites beat the English side 4-1, in a match that may have preceded the Ivorian international’s move to the team managed by Oliver Glasner.

Sporting want to receive around €40 million fixed, with add-ons that could raise the deal to €45 million. The Lions also want to secure 10% of the capital gain from a future transfer, while the payment structure remains one of the points under discussion.

Ousmane Diomande arrived at Alvalade in January 2023 from Midtjylland, in a total deal worth €14.5 million. The centre-back renewed his contract in December until 2030, but is now preparing to make the jump to the Premier League if Sporting and Nottingham Forest can settle the final details.
