Ousmane Diomande set to decide his Sporting future | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande has been one of the most important elements in Rui Borges' Sporting, which is aiming for the three-time championship in 25/26

Sporting wants to proceed with the contract renewal with Ousmane Diomande, but the operation will not be easy for the green and white officials. The Ivorian central defender has been one of the most important elements of the team, establishing himself as the boss of the green and white defense - and already has a date to return to competition.

At only 21 years old, Diomande has already gained crucial importance in Sporting's defense. And, after a summer with a lot of harassment from the Premier League, Sporting wants to renew the contract with the Ivorian who, in its current terms, ends in the summer of 2027 - which would leave the lions in a complicated position already at the end of this season.

Considering the player's importance in Rui Borges' team, and the contract that ends in 2027, Sporting wants to proceed with the contract renewal with Ousmane Diomande as soon as possible, and has already initiated talks with ROOF, the company that manages the green and white central defender.

However, among Sporting's officials, there seems to be a certainty: the path to renewal will not be easy. Ousmane Diomande had several interested parties in the summer market, willing to take him to more competitive championships, so the lions know it will be difficult to convince the Ivorian after such a busy transfer window.

Therefore, Sporting is also preparing its trump cards: the first of all will be the financial aspect, since the Alvalade Club is willing to significantly increase Ousmane Diomande's salary so that the contract renewal happens. Remember that the 21-year-old central defender has already cost Alvalade's coffers a value around 12.5 million euros.
