Overview
- Diomande, who told reporters Wednesday his contract runs to 2030, said he is a Leipzig player and is keeping his focus on the pitch.
- RB Leipzig have no release clause in his deal and intend to keep him unless a bid well above €100m arrives, a stance strengthened by their Champions League return.
- Elite clubs have been linked, yet multiple reports say Liverpool are hesitant to trigger a fee near £85m and are assessing alternatives such as PSG’s Bradley Barcola and Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa.
- Signed from Leganés for about €20m last summer, the winger produced 13 goals and nine assists this season, with his market value cited near €75m and some outlets mentioning mooted offers up to about $117m.
- With Côte d’Ivoire’s World Cup on the horizon, Diomande says he is prioritizing the tournament, and his new representatives at Roc Nation are handling interest that could grow with a strong showing.
