Ivory Coast international Ousmane Diomande has been a hot topic within the transfer rumour mill in recent months.
The 20-year-old has made a massive impression in Portugal since joining Sporting CP at the beginning of 2023, and has been an ever-present in Ruben Amorim's side since.
His displays in Lisbon earned him a call-up to the Ivory Coast national team that was triumphant in their home nation at the AFCON earlier this year, and he added more silverware to his trophy cabinet at the end of the 2023/24 campaign after helping his club claim their first Liga Portugal title in three years.

A source close to the player has revealed to Soccer Laduma that all these factors have caused for a large amount of interest to accumulate for the young centre-back, with the Gunners, the Blues, Liverpool, the Red Devils, PSG, Bayern and Real having asked about his availability.
It seems the Abidjan native is poised for an exit from the Estadio Jose Alvalade in the ongoing transfer window, with the aforementioned European giants strategising as to how to trigger his mooted €80 million (R1.5 billion) release clause.
