Ousmane Diomande is emerging as one of the best midfielders in the Portuguese National Championship. Even though he is only 20 years old, the Sporting Lisbon player already possesses most of the qualities to become a top star in the future.
Therefore, many big teams really want to recruit Diomande this summer. Besides Chelsea, there has also been a lot of speculation recently about Arsenal wanting to own the Ivory Coast star.
According to the British press, Arsenal is ready to make an offer equal to Chelsea’s for this deal (60 million euros). However, as for Sporting Lisbon, they understand the value that Diomande brings. Therefore, the Portuguese representative will only accept release if they receive 100 million euros. Therefore, Arsenal, Chelsea or any other club will have to increase their prices if they want Diomande’s services.
Regarding Arsenal, this club is ready to sell Oleksandr Zinchenko permanently after the 2023/24 season. However, according to British media, Arsenal will only consider selling if they receive a big offer. Specifically, the Gunners will let Zinchenko leave if they receive an offer of more than 45 million pounds.
The Ukrainian defender is currently receiving interest from Bayern Munich as well as Newcastle United. Bayern needs to find a replacement for Alphonso Davies, the star who has reached an agreement to join Real Madrid. As for Newcastle, they no longer have faith in Dan Burn.
