Liverpool and Man United Step Up Leipzig Scouting as Raum Joins Diomande on Summer Shortlists

Contract and valuation pressure at Leipzig could steer bids toward a pricey winger or a more attainable captain at left back.

Overview

  • Scouts from Liverpool and Manchester United watched RB Leipzig’s 1-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach over the weekend, with multiple reports noting David Raum’s player-of-the-match display.
  • Liverpool’s interest in Raum has intensified as the club prepares for Andy Robertson’s confirmed June 30 exit, with reports highlighting the left-back’s leadership and consistent output.
  • Several outlets report Raum has roughly a year left on his deal, which could lower Leipzig’s price expectations compared with a longer contract term.
  • Yan Diomande, who scored the winner in the same match, remains a leading target and said interest from clubs including Liverpool motivates him while he stays focused on Leipzig.
  • Leipzig are reported to value Diomande at about €100 million and want a new contract, while Liverpool and United are also monitoring other Leipzig talents, pointing to a broader summer push.
