Real Madrid leaders do not intend to miss a golden opportunity to strengthen their defense.
An Ivorian international, on the rise, is already on their radar for next season. Young Ousmane Diomande, 21, defender of Sporting CP, could become a priority target for the Merengues, who are looking to solidify their rearguard.
Despite a release clause of 80 million euros, the central defender, who has played 22 games this season, is also of interest to other big clubs. His profile is highly appreciated in Spain, where Real Madrid considers his youth and his potential as major assets for the future. The player is under contract until 2027, but discussions around his future are intensifying.
Atlético Madrid are also said to be on the player's trail, which promises strong competition for Real Madrid. The race to recruit Ousmane Diomande could well be one of the most followed soap operas of the next summer transfer window. The next few months promise to be decisive for the one who could well become the new nugget of La Liga.
