RB Leipzig air-conditions Liverpool and sets an astronomical amount for Yan Diomandé
Yesterday, Liverpool thought they had made a big breakthrough in the Yan Diomandé case. Considered a priority by the Mersey club, with a view to replacing Mohamed Salah, or to energize the left wing since he can play on both sides, the Ivorian winger is also followed very closely by Paris Saint-Germain. And yesterday, according to information from The AthleticLiverpool have informed RB Leipzig of their desire to propose an offer approaching 100 million euros.
Enough to capsize many clubs, but not RB Leipzig. Indeed, Sky Germany assures this Friday that RB Leipzig is demanding much more than the €100 million that Liverpool have indicated they are ready to pay. He wants to keep the 19-year-old for another season and plans to offer him a new contract with a salary increase. It must be said that Diomandé only arrived last summer from Leipzig, who poached him from Leganes for €20 million.
Bidding rises quickly
With a contract until 2030, the club which will return to the Champions League after its 3rd place in the Bundesliga therefore has no intention of selling its player. Or at a price beyond belief… That’s good, Liverpool could break the bank. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Reds will return to the charge, with an improved offer.
And PSG in there? Diomandé did not hide his interest in the reigning double European champion, of whom his father was a fan. But the capital club has not made any offer so far, and given how the price is soaring, it appears more and more uncertain to see them bid at these heights. Diomandé, for his part, will have a new opportunity to shine, at the 2026 World Cup, with a highly anticipated match against Germany this Saturday at 10 p.m.
