Ousmane Diomande has been attracting the interest of several Premier League clubs. Most recently, the Ivorian international has reappeared on Liverpool's list, as the Reds have already given up on the possibility of signing Marc Guéhi.

The information is being reported by the site 'Daily Express', which also states that Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, is still in pursuit of the 'number 26' from the Alvalade Club. So far, there seem to have been no formal proposals or contacts for Diomande.

The inevitable departure of Marc Guéhi is also a situation to address at this stage.

Meanwhile, Sporting continues to try to renew the defender's contract, as reported exclusively by Leonino. However, the green and white SAD is encountering some problems in finalizing the player's new deal, largely due to the pressure of the transfer market, but this remains Frederico Varandas' 'trump card'.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has participated in three matches. The Ivorian international center-back started in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, playing 68 minutes against Benfica, and also against Casa Pia, being on the field for 58 minutes before getting injured. He returned in the victory against Paços de Ferreira, where he played 90 minutes.
