As we head towards the end of the January transfer window, the need for clubs to make signings is more acute, and Sporting’s brilliant Ousmane Diomande is a player of interest to two London clubs.
A short while ago, Man United were linked with Diomande, ostensibly because former Sporting manager, Ruben Amorim, had moved to Old Trafford to take over from Erik ten Hag.
Chelsea favourites for Ousmane Diomande
No offers have appeared to be forthcoming from the Red Devils and, according to sources close to the player, it’s Chelsea and Arsenal that are closest to landing him at present.
Sources have also advanced that Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, have made their interest known, giving the 21-year-old powerhouse a big career decision to make.
The player has a release clause of €80m, and though publicly the Portuguese outfit insist that this is paid, sources believe that a firm offer of between €50-€60m would be enough for Sporting to consider parting with him.
Chelsea make enquiry to sign Man United star in January window!
It’s understood that the player’s own preference would be to play in the Premier League, so Vincent Kompany has an uphill struggle to convince Diomande otherwise.
Ousmane Diomande favours London switch
Of the two London clubs, the Blues would appear to be the most in need of a defender of Diomande’s quality.
Three clubs are chasing Chelsea’s Axel Disasi, and he’s unlikely to be the only central defender that’s on the move from the club this winter.
Indeed, a merry-go-round at Stamford Bridge has become the norm during a transfer window.
From Arsenal’s point of view, there’s simply no need to replace either Gabriel or William Saliba, and Diomande isn’t going to move to North London to play second fiddle.
Ok
