Yan Diomande Says He Will Stay at RB Leipzig as Suitors Reassess

The 19-year-old’s public commitment, together with Leipzig’s stance, makes a summer move unlikely.

Overview

  • Diomande, who told Kicker on Monday he will stay at RB Leipzig next season, said he is under contract and enjoys playing in Germany.
  • RB Leipzig leaders have indicated they do not plan to sell unless an extraordinary bid arrives, with several reports citing an asking price near €100 million.
  • Liverpool have kept close contact with his representatives as they seek a long-term Mohamed Salah replacement, yet his decision to stay and the price gap have cooled hopes of a quick deal.
  • Bayern Munich are reported to be taking a longer view and may target the winger in 2027 rather than force a move this summer, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint‑Germain also monitoring.
  • The teenager just won the Bundesliga’s Rookie of the Season after a 13-goal, 10-assist campaign and he is signed through 2030, which strengthens Leipzig’s leverage in any talks.
