Newcastle are preparing to bid big money in the transfer football market for Sporting Lisbon’s Ivory Coast defender Ousmane Diomande.
The Sunday Mirror, a British media outlet reports that. Newcastle United have raised their interest level and are keeping a close eye on Diomande before considering making a huge offer to Sporting Lisbon for consideration ทางเข้า UFABET
Newcastle are looking for a new centre-back. And caught the eye of Diomande. Who stands out with his tall figure, 6 feet 3 inches or 190 centimeters and is strong. And most importantly, he is still 20 years old. So it is not strange that he has received interest from many clubs. Even though he just moved from Midtjylland in January 2023.
Diomande has a release clause of 80 million euros. But it is believed that the offer that Newcastle is preparing to give to Sporting will probably be lower than that. But it may also break the record for the club’s most expensive transfer. Which currently belongs to Alexander Isak £63 million.
Diomande is currently serving with the Ivory Coast national team competing in the Africa Cup of Nations. With the 20-year-old defender being deployed as a starter at centre-back alongside Evan N’dika’s first game. Winning 2-0 against Guinea-Bissau is one of those games that many clubs’ scouts are believed to have worked hard on.
