Ruben Amorim has reportedly contacted Sporting CP centre-back Ousmane Diomande regarding a move to Manchester United amid his links with Arsenal and Chelsea.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Ousmane Diomande is the subject of interest from Manchester United. Ruben Amorim wants to reunite with the Sporting CP defender at Old Trafford, with the young centre-back open to a move. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea are also keen on signing the Ivory Coast international, with his contract containing a release clause worth €80 million.
Ousmane Diomande has seen his stock skyrocket since joining Sporting CP from Midtjylland in January 2023. The Ivorian defensive prospect might have only been with the Primeira Liga giants for less than two years but has gone from strength to strength during his short spell at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.
The 20-year-old has turned out 69 times thus far for Sporting CP while chipping in with four goals and one assist. Meanwhile, Diomande’s progress in the last few years has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
The Ivory Coast international has been on Arsenal’s radar for a long time, with the North London club regularly scouting the highly-rated centre-back. While William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are Mikel Arteta’s first-choice centre-backs, the Spanish tactician wants more options in his squad. So, Diomande is a viable target for Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in Ousmane Diomande is understandable. The Blues are scouring the market for a centre-back amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile. So, the Sporting CP defender is an option worth considering for Chelsea, and the West London club can afford his release clause of €80 million.
As for Manchester United, Ruben Amorim wants to reunite with the Ivorian defensive prospect. The Portuguese tactician oversaw Diomande’s arrival at Sporting CP and has already contacted the youngster regarding a move next year. Manchester United should have a solid chance of landing him, with the player open to moving to Old Trafford next year.
