Ousmane Diao still on Sporting’s radar, but it’s far from straightforward | OneFootball

Sporting remains interested in Ousmane Diao. The Midtjylland player, who began to make a name for himself while playing for Mafra, is attracting a long list of clubs eyeing his signing, with the Lions continuing to have the Senegalese defender on their radar.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur - a Turkish transfer market specialist - who notes that the green and whites are not alone in the race at all - and could easily be overtaken. The journalist admits that Eintracht Frankfurt is pushing for the signing of the 21-year-old defender, but even Sevilla has already offered 10 million euros.

Furthermore, the same source reveals that, besides Sporting and the two clubs mentioned above, there are two more suitors from Portugal. Porto and Benfica also have Diao on their radar, with the player himself having already admitted that the Eagles and Lions were keeping an eye on him.

Additionally, the Midtjylland footballer has at least four more clubs on his tail, all from England: Ekrem Konur reveals that Fulham, Crystal Palace, Ipswich, and Bournemouth are also interested in the Senegalese's services.

Ousmane Diao - valued at 7.5 million euros - took on the role of chief defender at Mafra and secured a move to Denmark, where he established himself in Midtjylland's first team. This season, he has played ten matches, scoring two goals and providing one assist. His contract only ends in 2029.
