English clubs continue to keep an eye on Ivorian Ousmane Diomande and Nottingham Forest, who are coached by Austrian Oliver Glasner, are negotiating the signing of the central defender with Sporting. The one who advances it is Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in the transfer market who writes even though the Tricky Trees are in "advanced conversations" to hire the central defender Leo. The defender, just 22 years old, has been at Sporting since the middle of the 2022/23 season and immediately became the team's starter Leo. He recently renewed his contract with the Green and Whites, which is now valid until June 2030, and increased the release clause to 80 million euros. In recent years, the central defender had already been appointed to Arsenal, as well as to Crystal Palace, who even tried to acquire him from Sporting. At the time, the lions resisted, but Nottingham Forest will try to convince Frederico Varandas to accept the sale of the former Mafra player. Diomande was at the 2026 World Cup with Ivory Coast and was a starter in the victory (0-2) against Curaçao, in the only 90 minutes he played for the African team.
