Sporting, Benfica and Porto set for a tussle over Senegalese centre-back | OneFootball

Ousmane Diao still attracts Sporting’s attention, but the Lions may have to compete with Porto and Benfica for his signing, in addition to other European clubs that are already starting to position themselves for the player who currently plays for Midtjylland.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur—a Turkish specialist in the transfer market—who states that the green and whites are by no means alone in the race and could easily be overtaken. The journalist admits that Eintracht Frankfurt is pushing for the signing of the 21-year-old defender, and even Sevilla has already offered 10 million euros.

Furthermore, the same source reveals that, besides Sporting and the two clubs mentioned above, there are two more suitors from Portugal. Porto and Benfica also have Diao on their radar, with the player himself having already admitted that both the Eagles and the Lions were keeping an eye on him.

Additionally, the Midtjylland footballer has at least four more clubs on his trail, all from England: Ekrem Konur reveals that Fulham, Crystal Palace, Ipswich, and Bournemouth are also interested in the services of the Senegalese player.

Ousmane Diao—valued at 7.5 million euros—took on the role of chief defender at Mafra and secured a move to Denmark, where he established himself in Midtjylland’s first team. This season, he has played ten matches, scoring two goals and providing one assist. His contract only expires in 2029.
