Liverpool keep Sporting star on ice, could make a move soon | OneFootball

Liverpool has Ousmane Diomande on its list of possible signings. The performance of Sporting's center-back has impressed the English club's officials, as he has been the 'boss' of the Lions' defense, especially since Sebastián Coates' departure.

According to information released by DaveOCKOP – a website specialized and dedicated to exclusive Reds news – Sporting’s 'number 26' is one of Arne Slot’s targets, the coach 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 Ghuéhi has been complicated for the Reds.

Already looking to safeguard the future, in case they are unable to 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 as a defensive reinforcement.

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.
