Yan Diomandé continues to lead the European transfer window. Revelation of the season in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig, the 19-year-old Ivorian striker has become one of the most coveted players on the continent after an exceptional year concluded with 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 games. Courted by several big names, including PSG, the young talent has seen Liverpool take a head start in recent weeks. The Reds had even drawn a first offer estimated at 100 million euros to try to convince the German club to let go of their nugget.
But this first offensive did not waver the leaders of Leipzig. Convinced that Yan Diomandé can still reach a milestone under his colors, the German club wishes to keep its jewel for at least one more season. A position which contrasts with that of the main interested party. According to several sources close to the matter, the Ivorian international would now favor a departure this summer in order to join a club capable of offering him a new sporting challenge at the highest European level.
Liverpool is pushing hard
And Liverpool clearly have no intention of giving up. According to information from Sky Sportsthe Reds are preparing a new offer after the rejection of their first proposal. The latter will well exceed 100 million euros. English leaders are currently working on an upwardly revised formula in an attempt to get RB Leipzig to give in. Further proof of the importance given to the Diomandé file at Anfield, where the striker is considered one of the absolute priorities of the transfer window to succeed Mohamed Salah.
In recent days, the German team had nevertheless sent a clear message by displaying their desire to maintain their prodigy. But faced with Liverpool’s insistence and the player’s desire to take a new step in his career, the saga is far from over. Especially since PSG continues to carefully monitor the situation, ready to intervene if an opportunity arises and if the player clearly shows a desire to join the reigning double European champion. Sky Sports adds that Leizpig seems prepared to let go of its player if an offer of around 130 million euros comes on the table. One thing is certain: Yan Diomandé has not finished making headlines this summer.
