With clubs circling, Sporting make transfer call on Ousmane Diomande | OneFootball

Despite recent reports indicating Galatasaray's interest in Ousmane Diomande - and an imminent proposal -, Sporting has not yet received any approach from the Turkish club. However, even if they did, the Lions have no intention of selling the 'number 26'.

According to the newspaper Record, in its edition this Thursday, the Istanbul club has not made a single approach to the Lions, and even if they had, Sporting's management is confident that the Ivorian international is one of the key pieces to lead Rui Borges' team to win the championship three times in a row.

The same source also reveals that Frederico Varandas has already made it clear to the Lions' coach that he will invest in the team during the next transfer window - not only by fighting to keep their pillars at Alvalade but also by signing reinforcements.

In this case, Sporting's goal is even to renew Diomande's contract, and in case of 'departure', it would only be to participate in the CAN, between December and January. The Lions intend to extend the connection with the defender until 2030, as it is currently only valid until 2027. However, for now, this process is on hold.

Still, despite the intentions of the green and whites at this stage, anything can happen until the end of the current sports season, because there are several clubs interested in the Ivorian. Arsenal and Chelsea are some of them, and Sporting needs, every season, to make a significant profit - which would easily be guaranteed with the player.
