Sporting to renew contract with player out since opening day | OneFootball

Sporting has everything agreed with Ousmane Diomande for the defender’s contract renewal. Sidelined since the first matchday of Liga Portugal Betclic due to injury, the ‘number 26’ will return against Paços de Ferreira in the Portuguese Cup.

According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, the Ivorian will extend his connection with the Alvalade club by a further three years. Diomande is under contract until 2027 and will extend it to 2030, also receiving a pay rise.

The release clause will remain at 80 million euros, but the center-back will receive a salary more in line with the impact he has had in the squad since he was signed from Midtjylland in the 2022/23 winter transfer window.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played in two matches. The Ivory Coast international started in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, playing 68 minutes against Benfica, and also against Casa Pia, spending 58’ on the pitch before getting injured.

The match, counting for the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 p.m.
