Manchester United plan a major transfer push for Ivorian defender Ousmane Diomandé in the upcoming winter window.
The English giants continue their search for a solid centre-back to strengthen their defence after a difficult start to the season.
The 21-year-old Sporting Portugal star has impressed across Europe with his composure, strength, and pace.
His performances in Portugal have drawn interest from several top clubs, including Liverpool. Diomandé’s growing reputation has made him one of Africa’s most promising defenders.
Manchester United view the Ivory Coast international as a long-term solution in defence.
Reports from CaughtOffside suggest the club is preparing an opening bid of around €50 million.
However, the Abidjan-born defender’s contract includes a release clause of €80 million, giving Sporting leverage in negotiations.
Diomandé already has nine caps and one goal for the Ivory Coast national team.
His displays at both club and international level highlight his potential to thrive in the Premier League.
Manchester United’s scouting department continues to monitor his performances closely, with manager Ruben Amorim keen to strengthen his squad’s defensive depth.
A deal for Diomandé could reshape United’s backline and bring renewed stability to the team.
The club’s hierarchy views the investment as part of a long-term rebuild.
The young defender’s athleticism and confidence on the ball fit perfectly with United’s evolving tactical approach.
As talks progress, fans wait to see if the Red Devils can secure the Ivorian’s signature before other European powerhouses act.
The winter window could see Manchester United make a decisive move to land one of Africa’s brightest defensive talents.
