Premier League duo West Ham United and Manchester City are reportedly targeting Primeira Liga defender Djalo, as well as Serie A outfit Lazio.
Sporting Lisbon lost a number of their key players during a haunting transfer window.
Gelson Martins, William Carvalho and Rui Patricio all departed the Estadio Jose Alvalade under a cloud after a series of unseemly issues off the field, including a reported training ground invasion and some high-profile criticism from the now-departed owner Bruno de Carvalho.
According to O Jogo, Sporting could now be about to lose another of their prized assets – the talented young defender Tiago Djalo.
It is understood that Djalo is at the centre of a contract dispute, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season. The teenager has not played for the U23 team since mid-December as a result, although Sporting are still hoping to tie him down.
But, if they fail, there should be no shortage of interest. O Jogo adds that West Ham United have expressed an interest in signing Djalo while Manchester City and Lazio are also circling.
The Portuguese youngster has been offered a deal until 2023 by Sporting but a move to the Premier League could appeal.
And West Ham could do with another option at centre-back to provide support for Issa Diop and Fabian Balbuena.
