Sporting open to Diomande sale, Liverpool given new incentive | OneFootball

Liverpool may start to tighten the siege on Sporting for Ousmane Diomande. After admitting defeat in their attempt to sign Marc Guéhi next summer, the Reds’ plan is now to turn their attention to the Ivorian international.

The information is being reported by the ‘Daily Express’ website, which also adds that Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, also remain in pursuit of Alvalade’s number 26. For now, there do not appear to have been any formal proposals or contacts for Diomande so far.

It’s worth remembering that Crystal Palace could also make another move for the defender, a Premier League club that came very close to signing the player in August. The inevitable departure of Marc Guéhi is also a situation that needs to be addressed at this stage.

Meanwhile, Sporting continues to try to renew the defender’s contract, as Leonino reported exclusively. However, the green and white board is encountering some problems in finalizing the player’s new deal, largely due to the pressure from the transfer market.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played in three matches. The Ivorian international center-back started in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, playing 68 minutes against Benfica, and also against Casa Pia, being on the pitch for 58 minutes before getting injured. He returned in the victory against Paços de Ferreira, where he played the full 90 minutes.
