Overview
- Fabrizio Romano said Sunday that Leipzig are in talks with Yan Diomande’s representatives about higher wages and a longer contract, with a release clause under consideration.
- Romano also reported that the winger plans to listen to bids in the summer before deciding his future, which could force Liverpool to wait or pivot on their plan to replace Mohamed Salah.
- Leipzig value Diomande at about €100m and have him under contract until 2030, leaving the club under no pressure to sell.
- Liverpool are widely reported to be readying an offer near £87m (about €100m), with some outlets claiming personal terms are agreed, though none of this has been confirmed by the clubs.
- Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are tracking him, and some reports suggest Champions League qualification could influence his choice.
