In recent hours, Yan Diomandé has been announced as very close to Paris Saint-Germain. The Athletic assured that the young 19-year-old winger had decided to favor the double European champions in Liverpool, while we announced to you exclusively that the Rouge et Bleu were very confident about the feasibility of the transfer, in particular thanks to the good relations between Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG, and Oliver Mintzlaff, the president of the supervisory board of RB Leipzig.
However, the sports director of the RBL, Marcel Schäfer, cooled everyone 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 principle, we have a four-year contract and we keep control. These current developments are therefore above all a recognition of its performances. No more, no less. And if we don’t find a solution, well too bad, but he has four years left on his contract. So I repeat: Yan Diomandé will remain a Leipzig player.”
“You inform me. I don’t have internet, I don’t have Instagram, I don’t have TikTok”
Info or misinformation intended to put pressure on PSG? Present at a press conference on the eve of the round of 16 of the World Cup between Ivory Coast and Norway, Yan Diomandé did not escape questions about his potential future in Paris. “My dream is to play for my country. I don’t have Instagram anymore, I don’t have TikTok. I can’t see anything. I have an agent who will take care of the rest. For me, the most important thing is to be focused on the World Cup and making history.”he declared, before being relaunched at the very end of the press conference.
The opportunity for the Ivorian to confirm once again that he was not concerned about his future in the middle of the World Cup. “You inform me. I don’t have internet, I don’t have Instagram, I don’t have TikTok. It’s my agent who is talking with the club, I have no information. I don’t want to talk about that, even with my agent because it’s a chance to play in a World Cup, it’s every four years, so you have to take advantage of it. I want to make history with my country, and give the best of myself.” It’s said!
