Newcastle United is ahead in the race to sign targets worth €80 million from Real Madrid,

Newcastle United is reportedly interested in Ousmane Diomande, according to a report by the Spanish publication

Fichajes. With a willingness to pay €80 million for the Sporting CP defender, the Magpies are in the lead in the transfer

market. Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, and other big European teams are also interested in the young player.

Ousmane Diomande’s Rise

Since moving from Midtjylland to Sporting CP in January 2023, Ousmane

Diomande has grown to become one of the most sought-after defenders in the world. Over the past 12 months, the 20-

year-old has advanced significantly and established himself as a key player for the Portuguese team.

The international player from Ivory Coast has made 38 appearances for

Sporting CP so far, contributing three goals and one assist. His contribution to

Sporting’s ascent to the top of Liga Portugal has been significant. Numerous prominent teams, including Real Madrid,

Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United, have taken notice of Diomande’s progress

It makes sense that Real Madrid would be interested in Ousmane Diomande

given that Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Nacho are all over 30. In addition, if Real Madrid does not extend Nacho’s

contract, he may depart in the summer. Therefore, Los Blancos needs to acquire a center back.

Regarding Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has identified Diomande as a potential long-

term partner for William Saliba. Chelsea is also keeping an eye on the 20-year-old, and they want to sign him before the

competition does. However, against Newcastle United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Real Madrid are in a losing struggle.

The Magpies are the front-runners to sign Ousmane Diomande, according to the report. To hire the young person,

they are willing to pay €80 million. The long-term central defensive partner of Sven Botman may be the right-footed

Ivorian center-back. It is therefore not shocking that Newcastle United is interested in signing him.

It will be interesting to watch if Newcastle United can outbid the

opposition to acquire the center back, who is valued at €80 million. However,

it’s unlikely that Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Arsenal will give up easily in the race to sign Diomande.
