Nottingham Forest has made an enquiry for centre-back Ousmane Diomande from Sporting. The 22-year-old Ivory Coast international has a £68.2m release clause, but reports suggest he could be available for a lower fee this summer. New Forest manager Oliver Glasner, familiar with Diomande from his time at Crystal Palace, is reportedly pushing for the move. Diomande has over 150 senior appearances and played for Ivory Coast in the World Cup. Forest has not yet made any signings following their narrow avoidance of relegation last season.
