Sporting to boost key player's wages and raise release clause to €80M | OneFootball

Ousmane Diomande is one of the most sought-after assets in Sporting's squad. The center-back from the Alvalade Club has a contract valid until 2027, but the management of the green and white emblem is going to offer a new deal to the Ivorian defender, an indispensable starter for Rui Borges.

According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, one of the sports representatives of the 21-year-old center-back is traveling to Lisbon next week to evaluate the new contract for his client. It is expected that the player will have one or two more years of connection, a salary increase, and the same release clause of 80 million euros.

Thus, Ousmane Diomande is one of the several renewal dossiers that Sporting's SAD has in hand, in this final stretch of 2025. Besides the 'number 26' of the lions, the green and white management also intends to extend the contracts of Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves, and Geny Catamo.

It is worth remembering that the Ivorian international, along with Maxi Araújo and Hidemasa Morita, has been entrusted to the Performance Unit of the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in Alcochete. The player has been away from the fields but will be reassessed next Tuesday, and the signs could be very positive.

This season, wearing Sporting's jersey, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – participated in two matches. The Ivorian international center-back 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.
