Exclusive: Concerns over Diomande's contract talks with Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting is facing difficulties in finalizing the contract renewal of Ousmane Diomande, as reported by Leonino. The complication arises from the number of clubs interested in the player, and the green and white management has yet to reach a conclusion.

Sporting has been working on the contract renewal of Ousmane Diomande for the past few months, a process also affected by the muscle injury the central defender suffered at the start of the season, which kept him off the field for about two months.

However, the President of Sporting is facing some unforeseen difficulties regarding Ousmane Diomande's renewal. The Ivorian central defender has attracted interest from several European giants, which would allow him to compete in more competitive leagues.

Nevertheless, Sporting remains confident about renewing Ousmane Diomande's contract. Crystal Palace's interest seems serious at this point, following the confirmation of Marc Guéhi's departure, but Frederico Varandas believes that the Alvalade Club has enough leverage to keep the central defender at Alvalade.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has participated in three matches. The international central defender for Ivory Coast 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.
