Ousmane Diomande to Nottingham Forest for €40m
Nottingham Forest are close to completing a €40m move for Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande, with the player due to undergo a medical.
David Ornstein reports that Nottingham Forest are set to sign 22‑year‑old Ivory Coast centre‑back Ousmane Diomande from Sporting CP. The deal is reported at €40m and would see the defender join Forest on a five‑year contract after travelling to the club for a medical later tonight.
The story is being followed by two outlets in total, and Onside’s model values Diomande at €6m, suggesting the reported fee represents an overpay relative to the valuation. The model assigns a 95% confidence level to the information that the transfer is in the final stages.
If the medical is passed, the move would be finalised and Diomande would become the latest defensive signing for Nottingham Forest, pending completion of the contractual formalities.
