Crystal Palace eyeing funds to launch January move for Sporting star | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande is once again being considered by the Crystal Palace officials for a possible signing. The English club is contemplating moving forward with the acquisition of the Ivorian defender if Marc Guéhi leaves the club in the winter market.

This information was reported last Monday, November 24, by expert Sacha Tavolieri. Liverpool - which was also interested in the Lions' center-back - is on the verge of negotiating Guéhi, which could lead to a proposal for the 'number 26' when the next transfer window opens.

Crystal Palace intends to make another move for the Lions' defender after having set aside 55 million euros for his signing last summer. However, now they may not have the same openness from the green and white officials.

Sporting has decided not to let players leave in January, with Diomande being one of the assets considered 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.

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