Rui Borges has zero worries over Ousmane Diomande amid Forest links | OneFootball

Sporting CP head coach Rui Borges says he has zero worries about speculation around Ousmane Diomande, with Nottingham Forest understood to be targeting the Ivory Coast defender this summer.

In Portugal, Maisfutebol reports that talks between Forest and Sporting had fallen through due to a major disagreement, while A Bola reported on Friday that an agreement could still be reached for the 22-year-old.

Asked on Friday about the possibility of Diomande leaving, ahead of Sporting’s season opener against Estrela da Amadora on Saturday, Borges replied: "Zero worries." "It’s natural that at Sporting there will be a lot of noise around arrivals and departures until the transfer window closes. "Sporting have great players, Ousmane is one of them and he’s in the squad."

Forest have made one signing so far, Austria midfielder Xaver Schlager, who joined as a free agent after leaving RB Leipzig. He is reunited with new head coach Oliver Glasner, the pair having worked together at Wolfsburg.

Forest want four further additions before the window closes, targeting another midfielder, a centre-back, a right-back and a striker.
