Ousmane Diomande leaving Sporting CP?
Ruben Amorim, who will soon become the head coach of Man United, is keen to bring Ousmane Diomande to Old Trafford to strengthen the defense. The Sun reports that Man United will need to meet Diomande's £70m release clause to sign him. Football analyst Ben Mattinson believes Diomande could become 'a monster in no time.'
Sporting CP made an effort to keep Diomande in the squad.
There is speculation about the potential departure of Diomande from Sporting. If he leaves, Sporting will look to sign a new central defender.
Ousmane Diomande was absent on the first day of training for Sporting.
Sporting CP initially considered selling Ousmane Diomande to generate significant revenue. However, the high transfer fee demands (initially 80 million euros, then 50-60 million euros) deterred potential buyers.
Ousmane Diomande is highly coveted, especially by clubs in England. Sporting is willing to negotiate his transfer for around €50-60 million, below his €80 million release clause.
