Fabrizio Romano quashes rumours, says Sporting star is all but out | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande may yet still be on his way to the Premier League, after Nottingham Forest resumed negotiations with Sporting for the centre-back. According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal is once again at an advanced stage.

'The Athletic' also reports that the Ivory Coast international is expected to travel to England later tonight, where he will undergo a medical before signing a five-year contract with the English club.

Diomande has been at Sporting since January 2023, when he arrived at Alvalade from Midtjylland, after a spell at Mafra. Since then, the centre-back has established himself as one of the Lions' main defensive options.

A move to England is therefore gaining momentum again after having been virtually ruled out. Nottingham Forest want to complete the signing of the 22-year-old defender, who is expected to say goodbye to the Alvalade club in the coming days.
