If Sporting value the Ivory Coast international central defender at £70 million, then it is unlikely that the Portuguese giants will sell him for much less, especially if he does well at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Moreover, there are other big clubs who are keen on the defender. Arsenal will reportedly scout him this month and are keen on him. Chelsea have also been linked with Diomande.
Diomande has made 15 appearances in Liga Portugal for Sporting this season. He has scored one goal and given one assist in those games. The defender has scored one goal in four starts and one substitute appearance in the UEFA Europa League this campaign.
