He currently has a release clause worth €80 million in his contract, but reports claim that the centre-back dreams of playing in the Premier League.
Sporting CP renewed his contract in January to deter suitors, but they are likely to provide a discount on the clause figure at the end of the season.

Diomande has also been linked with Newcastle and Crystal Palace, but the latter may not be an option amid their average league campaign.
