Paris at all costs. This summer, Yan Diomandé is a very courted man. Author of 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 matches in all competitions last season with RB Leipzig, the Ivorian caught the eye of many clubs. This Thursday, Bild recalls the list of teams attracted by his profile, his qualities and his potential, since he is only 19 years old. Thus, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are all candidates for his signature. But it is the French club which is in pole position on this issue.
Diomandé wants PSG
Indeed, PSG, very confident according to our information, has the preference for the native of Abidjan. This, even though he has admitted in the past to being a big fan of the Reds. But this transfer, which many thought was imminent, is taking longer than expected. The French and European champions come up against the firmness and demands of Leipzig, who ensure that their player is not for sale. A few days ago, the German sports director, Marcel Schäfer, was very clear about it in the columns of Bild.
“Our intention is clear: Yan Diomandé will play for RB Leipzig next year. And we will not compromise on that! We know its value. Certainly, if Yan continues on this path, the time will come to allow him to take a new step, but not this year. In the process, Diomandé, who was at the World Cup with his country, indicated that he was not aware of the rumors concerning him. A few days later, Leipzig opened the door slightly to his departure. Indeed, Bild revealed that the Bundesliga team would agree to sell their player on two conditions. The first is that it is sold for €100 million.
But he’s starting to lose patience
The second is that the club to which he will be sold will have to agree to lend him Diomandé for a season. It is hard to imagine Paris accepting such a deal. Bild also specifies that Luis Enrique is against. While we thought that this issue would move forward a little further after the elimination of Côte d’Ivoire, this is not the case. And this is starting to bother the Yan Diomandé clan. This is what explains Bild this Thursday morning. Thus, we learn that the entourage of the player under contract until 2030, who is expected next week to participate in his team’s pre-season training camp in Austria, is putting pressure on PSG.
He wants Paris to send a clear signal and finally speed up negotiations with Leipzig in order to resolve all this as quickly as possible and prevent the issue from dragging out a little longer. Especially since according to the German publication, Yan Diomandé has already agreed with PSG, with whom an agreement has been reached until 2031. But no Parisian offer has yet been made according to Bildwho adds that the RBL wants €120 million for its player. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who took the matter in hand, certainly spoke with Oliver Mintzlaff (the boss of Red Bull) during the World Cup final in New York. The Diomandé clan hopes that he has been convincing.
