Ousmane Diomande set to join 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 22‑year‑old Ivory Coast centre‑back Ousmane Diomande is set to leave Sporting CP for Nottingham Forest, with a €40m fee reported. The player is expected to travel tonight for a medical ahead of a five‑year contract, although the deal has not been confirmed.
The story is being followed by two outlets in total. Onside’s model values Diomande at €6m, indicating the reported fee represents a significant overpay relative to the valuation. The model assigns a 95% confidence level to the information that the transfer is in the medical stage.
If the medical is passed, the move would see Diomande join Forest, adding depth to their defensive options. The fee remains undisclosed beyond the reported €40m figure, and the transfer remains subject to finalisation.
