Ousmane Diomande sets demands to renew with Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting has already started talks to renew Ousmane Diomande's contract, but there may be some obstacles along the way, especially regarding the salary increase requested by the Ivorian international. At the same time as the center-back, the club also intends to offer new contracts to Francisco Trincão and Gonçalo Inácio.

According to the newspaper Record, the Alvalade club will need to be very patient in dealing with the demands of the player and his agents. Despite the proposal to renew until 2030 while maintaining the release clause at 80 million euros, the real talking point is the salary.

It seems that Sporting is aware that doubling Diomande's current earnings might not be enough: the club's intention is to increase from 400 to 800 thousand euros net, but the management has already been warned that this might not suffice, especially at a time when the market is starting to stir for the 21-year-old player.

For now, Diomande's contract with Sporting ends in 2027, but the main intention of the green and whites is to renew with the player to avoid any unnecessary surprises. Arsenal, Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Bayern Munich are some of the clubs eyeing the center-back.

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.
