English club "Newcastle" is considering the option of adding Sporting's central defender Ousmane Diomande to its squad. Sport24.az reports that this was reported by "Football Insider".
According to the source, the team led by Eddie Howe is preparing to take more serious steps this time for the transfer of the 22-year-old football player. However, in order for the Lisbon representative to agree to the sale of the defender, they require an offer from the other party of more than 40 million pounds.
It should be noted that "Sporting" recently extended Diomande's contract until 2030 and does not intend to sell him. The team's fight for the national championship is one of the main factors influencing this decision.
