Sporting Transfer Market: Diomande Deal Sealed with Nottingham Forest

The deal between Sporting and Nottingham Forest for the transfer of Ousmane Diomande has finally been sealed, A BOLA has learned. The two clubs had already agreed on a transfer fee, reportedly around €40 million fixed with an additional €5 million in variables, but the deal had stalled over payment terms and was even at risk of collapsing. However, after further negotiation rounds this Saturday morning, the agreement was finalized.

Diomande, it's worth noting, was called up for today's match between the Lions and Estrela da Amadora. It remains to be seen if he will still be part of the squad, but all indications suggest he will not. The Ivorian is expected to head to England early next week to join Oliver Glasner's team.
