Yan Diomande, 19, stood out in the 2025/26 season by scoring 12 goals and providing nine assists in 33 Bundesliga games, helping RB Leipzig secure their return to the UEFA Champions League for next season. The young Ivorian's remarkable displays in his first campaign in Germany's top league naturally attracted the interest of Europe's top clubs. On June 18, Liverpool made their first offer to sign Diomande, valuing him at €100 million (€90 million base value plus €10 million in bonuses), according to a report from Sky Germany, which was quickly rejected by Leipzig. After replacing Arne Slot with Andoni Iraola, Liverpool are expected to present a better offer soon. Fabrizio Romano reports that Leipzig want more than €100 million for their prized asset, with €120 million being a mentioned figure. Such an amount would make Diomande his biggest departure, surpassing the 90 million euros of Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City) and the 76.5 million euros of Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United). However, Liverpool face competition from Paris Saint-Germain. According to our colleagues at Get French Football News, the Parisians are expected to join the race to sign the 19-year-old, although Sky Germany adds that no offers have yet arrived.
