Mafra's center-back loaned by Midtjylland; the lions' interest dates back to January, eagles' harassment is more recent; price could be a stumbling block: Danes ask for €10 million

Central of Mafra loaned by Midtjylland; lions' interest comes from January; price can be a stumbling block: Danes ask for €10 million.

Sporting has shown interest in Ousmane Diao since January. However, they ended up surprisingly betting on Rafael Pontelo from Leixões. If Diao were to join Sporting, he could be viewed as an alternative to Gonçalo Inácio or St. Juste, whose continuations at the club are uncertain.
