Sporting struggle to keep star at Alvalade amid top club interest | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande is, by far, the Sporting player with the most market interest at the moment. Several European clubs are monitoring the defender, such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich, at a time when the Lions are not considering negotiating.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur – a journalist specializing in matters related to the transfer market – who notes the high pressure for the Ivorian international. This list of clubs comes after the news related to Crystal Palace.

The English club is looking to make a proposal to Sporting for Diomande, with the aim of using the signing of the Lions’ defender to replace Marc Guéhi, who is expected to leave Crystal Palace in the winter transfer window.

Sporting is said to have decided not to let any players leave in January, with Diomande being one of the assets seen as non-negotiable in the team managed by Rui Borges. In fact, the Alvalade club has already started talks to extend the contract of the Ivorian international.

In the current season, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played eight matches for Sporting: four in 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 587 minutes.
