Diomande sidelined, Sporting forced to pay millions 💸 | OneFootball

Sporting paid an additional 2 million euros to Midtjylland for Ousmane Diomande. When the contract with the central defender was signed with the Lions, it was established that the Alvalade Club could acquire an additional 10% of the economic rights of the Ivorian, to reduce the Danes' capital gains.

According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, Sporting contacted Midtjylland and immediately paid 2 million euros. In this way, the Nordic club - which had 20% of a future capital gain from the player - now only has 10% of the difference in a potential transfer.

This amount paid by the Lions adds to the total amount already disbursed for Diomande, since the central defender met all the objectives set in the agreement made during the winter transfer window of the 2022/23 season.

Initially, Sporting paid 7.5 million euros for Diomande and committed to disbursing an additional 1.66 million each time the defender played 30 games with 45 or more minutes of play. In total, the central defender cost Frederico Varandas 12.5 million euros - plus these 2 million to reduce capital gains.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – participated in two matches. The international central defender for Ivory Coast 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.
