Softfootball reports that Nottingham Forest has come to terms with Sporting CP for the transfer of Ousmane Diomande in a deal valued at €40 million fixed.
The centre-back from Ivory Coast is anticipated to arrive in England today to undergo a medical examination ahead of finalizing the transfer details.
This agreement represents a significant enhancement to Nottingham Forest’s defense as the club continues to bolster its roster in preparation for the upcoming season. This development follows previous reports that negotiations between Forest and Sporting resumed as both sides sought a resolution.
Diomande’s transfer occurs despite the defender recently signing a new contract with Sporting CP, extending his commitment to the Portuguese side for an additional three years. Nonetheless, Forest’s readiness to match Sporting’s asking price has now facilitated the 22-year-old’s move to England.
Upon the successful completion of his medical, Diomande will finalize his contract, marking him as one of Nottingham Forest’s key defensive signings this summer.
