Liverpool keeping Sporting star on the back burner, could make a move soon | OneFootball

Liverpool has Ousmane Diomande on their list of potential signings. The performance of Sporting's central defender impresses the English officials, as he has been the 'boss' of the lions' defense, especially since the departure of Sebastián Coates.

According to information provided by DaveOCKOP - a site specialized and dedicated to exclusive news about the Reds - 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 champion.

The same source reports that Liverpool has opened talks with the representatives of Nico Schlotterbeck from Dortmund, at a time when Ibrahima Konaté's contract is nearing its end and the signing of Marc Ghuéhi has been complicated for the Reds.

Already safeguarding the future, in case they cannot recruit the English international from Crystal Palace, Liverpool has turned their attention to Ousmane Diomande, who was also closely followed by the Eagles in the summer market, to strengthen the defense.

This season, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played seven matches for Sporting: three in the Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In total, the central defender has accumulated 497 minutes.
