Ousmane Diomande’s Sporting future in doubt, fresh updates emerge | OneFootball

Crystal Palace may attempt a new move for Ousmane Diomande as early as January. At this moment, everything depends on the possible departure of Marc Guéhi from the Premier League club. If that happens, the Sporting player is the main target for the English side to fill his position.

The information was reported last Monday, November 24, by specialist Sacha Tavolieri. Liverpool – who were also interested in the Lions’ center-back – are in the process of negotiating for Guéhi, which could lead to an offer for the ‘number 26’ when the next transfer window opens.

Crystal Palace intends to renew their pursuit of the Lions’ defender after having set aside 55 million euros to sign him last summer. However, this time, they will not find Sporting’s management as open to negotiations.

Sporting has reportedly decided not to let any players leave in January, with Diomande considered one of the untouchable assets in Rui Borges’ squad. In fact, the Alvalade club has already started talks to extend the contract of the Ivorian international.

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 on the pitch.
