The center back recently signed a new four-year deal with Sporting, though the agreement is viewed more as a way to protect the club’s transfer value than a long-term commitment keeping him in Lisbon throughout peak years. The contract includes a release clause worth €80 million (£70 million).

Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are also credited with strong interest in the 22-year-old. Palace previously considered Diomande as a potential successor to Marc Guehi last summer and could renew that pursuit later this year.
