Sporting receive warning from agents of Rui Borges' key player | OneFootball

Sporting aims to renew the contract with Ousmane Diomande, but the situation doesn't seem easy. Among the three dossiers in hand - along with Francisco Trincão and Gonçalo Inácio - the one concerning the Ivorian seems the most complicated for the club's management at this stage.

According to the newspaper Record, the Alvalade Club will need a lot of patience to deal with the demands of the player and his agents. Despite the proposal to renew until 2030 while keeping the release clause at 80 million euros, the real talking point is the salary.

It seems that Sporting is aware that doubling the amount earned by Diomande might not be enough: the club's intention would be 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 unnecessary surprises. Arsenal, Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Bayern Munich are some of the clubs eyeing the center-back.

In the current 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 center-back has accumulated 497 minutes.
