Ivorian defender Ousmane Diomande’s proposed transfer to Nottingham Forest has fallen through after negotiations between the English club and his current side failed to produce an agreement.
The two clubs were reportedly in discussions over a deal worth around €40 million for the highly rated centre-back, but talks have now collapsed over the valuation and final terms of the transfer.
Diomande, who has attracted significant interest from several European clubs due to his defensive qualities and potential, remains at his club as the search for a possible next destination continues.
The 21-year-old Ivory Coast international has established himself as one of Africa’s most promising young defenders, earning recognition for his strength, composure and ability to play out from the back.
Nottingham Forest will now have to explore alternative options as they look to reinforce their defensive department ahead of the new season, while Diomande’s future remains a key talking point in the transfer market.
