Sporting could, in all honesty, do well to cash in on someone who isn’t even one of their most important players.

Something like €30-40m would be a pretty decent price in that context, though they also won’t want to lose too many players at once.

?? Nottingham Forest are progressing to sign Ousmane Diomandé as new centre back.

Negotiations remain underway. ? https://t.co/HLsw5E3TdL

As Fabrizio Romano has reported in the X post above, Sporting look set to sell Ousmane Diomande to Nottingham Forest this summer.

The Portuguese giants won’t want to also have to find a replacement for Catamo in the same window, so perhaps that explains the surprisingly high price tag, which will probably put a lot of suitors off.
