Bayern Munich remains steadfast in their pursuit of Ivorian defender Ousmane Diomande, who currently plies his trade for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, despite previous speculation linking him with the German giants last summer.
According to reports from journalist Ekrem Konur, Bayern Munich continues to keep a close watch on the talented Ivorian international.
However, the Bundesliga powerhouse is hesitant to trigger Diomande’s release clause, which is believed to be a substantial figure.
Diomande’s contract with Sporting Lisbon runs until June 2027, further complicating any potential transfer negotiations.
The 20-year-old defender has attracted interest from several other top European clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea from the Premier League.
Additionally, Newcastle and Juventus have emerged as contenders in the race for the promising youngster’s signature.
With such a plethora of suitors vying for his services, Diomande finds himself at the center of a highly competitive transfer market.
Sporting Lisbon appears willing to entertain offers for their prized asset, signaling a potential departure for Diomande in the near future.
The club’s openness to negotiations suggests that they may be willing to part ways with their rising star for the right price.
As the transfer saga unfolds, all eyes will be on Diomande’s next move and which club will ultimately secure his services.
With Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Juventus all in the mix, the race for the highly sought-after defender promises to be a captivating affair in the upcoming transfer window.
