Liverpool Make Contact Over Yan Diomande as RB Leipzig Move to Block Summer Exit

A no-clause extension would force bidders to meet a nine-figure price or wait.

Overview

  • Sky in Germany reported Thursday that Liverpool are in contact with Yan Diomande’s agents about a possible summer move.
  • RB Leipzig are preparing a new contract for the 19-year-old that would raise his pay and exclude a release clause to keep control of any sale.
  • Leipzig have set an internal valuation of around €100 million (£87m) and would only consider offers starting at that level.
  • Diomande has produced roughly 11 goals and 8 assists this season, which explains the surge of interest in a teenager tied to Leipzig long term.
  • Mohamed Salah’s planned exit has sharpened Liverpool’s need for a winger, but without a release clause any deal would rely on hard negotiations and could drag on as other elite clubs track the player.
