22-year-old Oumar Diakité, returning from a loan at Cercle Bruges, is reportedly not part of Stade de Reims' plans. The Ivorian forward is expected to move to England in the coming days. Several Championship clubs are interested in acquiring him, with Preston, QPR, and Bolton specifically mentioned as competing to sign him. Diakité has reportedly declined proposals from Turkey, favouring a move to England. The transfer is estimated to be valued between 3 and 3.5 million euros. Speculation about ongoing negotiations with English clubs has increased due to Diakité's agent, Marc Benson, being recently seen in the UK in a story posted on his social media. Diakité has been capped 31 times for Ivory Coast, scoring 6 goals, and has a contract with the French club until 2028. His current market value is €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
