Chelsea is still looking for reinforcements for their defense and has set their sights on Ousmane Diomande, a young center-back from Sporting de Portugal. At 21 years old, the Ivorian defender has emerged as one of the great promises of European football, attracting interest from several top clubs.
According to information from Teamtalk, the London team is seriously considering acquiring the services of the defender and would be willing to pay the €80 million stipulated in his release clause. The blue board sees Diomande as a player with great potential and projection to lead their defensive line in the future.
There will be no negotiation, his price is €80 million
Sporting, aware of the player's talent, has him tied down until 2027, which forces any interested party to negotiate under their conditions. However, Chelsea would have no issues facing a significant design if it allows them to get ahead of other clubs that have also shown interest in the African center-back.
In recent years, the blues have shown a willingness to make multimillion-dollar investments to strengthen their squad, and this time, Diomande seems to be the next big target. It remains to be seen whether the Portuguese entity is willing to negotiate or if the London club chooses to directly execute the clause to secure his signing.
