Ousmane Diomande has been linked with a move away from Sporting CP in recent months, with Crystal Palace being a suitor.
Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing Ousmane Diomande. However, a Sky Sports report claims he is likely to cost a premium, and the Eagles could be priced out of a move.
It is no secret that they need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, especially following Marc Guehi’s departure. Diomande could have been a quality long-term acquisition for them. He has shown his ability in the Portuguese league, and he has the physicality and technical attributes for English football as well. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up in the summer.
The opportunity to move to England will be exciting for him. However, Sporting CP will have to be reasonable with their demands. It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace decide to test their resolve with an offer in the summer.
They will need to improve defensively if they want to do well in the Premier League next season. It has been a disappointing season for them, and they have looked quite vulnerable at the back. They are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see if they can secure safety and plug the gaps in their defence at the end of the season.
Diomande could fancy Palace move
Diomande is a young defender with a lot of potential, and he could develop into a key player for Crystal Palace in future. It remains to be seen whether he can secure a move to the Premier League in the coming months.
He has shown his quality with Sporting CP, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. He will look to test himself at the highest level and fight for trophies. The move to Crystal Palace could be exciting for him. They recently won a couple of trophies, and they have a quality team. If they can plug the squad’s weaknesses, there is no reason they cannot fight for trophies in the coming seasons as well.
