Real Madrid has turned its attention to Ousmane Diomandé, a young center-back from Sporting de Portugal, as part of their search for a solid reinforcement for the defensive axis. The Ivorian player, aged just 21, has stood out for his leadership and solidity in the Lisbon team's defense, becoming a talent that has sparked the interest of several European giants.

The scouting work is led by Juni Calafat, a key figure in the club's scouting department, who sees Diomandé as a present and future investment for the Santiago Bernabéu. However, the operation is not simple: Sporting has set his price at 60 million euros, though the amount could reach up to 80 million considering the growing interest from clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.

Ousmane Diomandé, on Real Madrid's radar

Diomandé has been a cornerstone in Sporting's defense this season, displaying a maturity that contrasts with his youth. His profile, characterized by a great ability to anticipate, firmness in individual duels, and good ball distribution, fits the current needs of Real Madrid, which is looking to strengthen its squad for the demands of the upcoming seasons.

Sporting, on the other hand, has no intention of facilitating the departure of one of its key players and holds a strong position in the negotiations. For Real Madrid, the interest in Diomandé is part of a strategy aimed at rejuvenating and deepening the defense, cementing a competitive unit capable of contending for the highest European titles.
