Ousmane Diomande, Leeds United, Sporting
10 June 2026
Leeds United want to break their transfer record to sign Sporting defender Ousmane Diomande, according to reports. Their proposed package could reach £35 million plus £8 million in add-ons for the centre-back this summer window.
The move would show Leeds’ intent to strengthen defensively with a high-ceiling signing, but Sporting’s valuation and rival interest may complicate talks. Diomande’s profile offers athleticism, resale value and long-term backline potential for the club.
