RB Leipzig is reported to have rejected a 100 million euro offer from Liverpool for striker Yan Diomande. According to Sky, the Reds offered the Saxons 90 million euros plus 10 million euros in bonuses. Diomande, who is currently playing in the World Cup with the Ivory Coast national team and will face the DFB team in Toronto on Saturday, has a contract with RB Leipzig until 2030 that does not include a release clause. The 19-year-old Diomande was the discovery of the past Bundesliga season. RB Leipzig signed the talent for 20 million euros from Spanish second-division club CD Leganes. Due to his performances, the top European clubs quickly took notice, and there were always rumors that the Ivorian might leave the Bundesliga after just one season. Especially since Diomande makes no secret of the fact that potential candidates like Liverpool and Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain are among his favorite teams. However, Leipzig's sporting director Marcel Schäfer consistently rejected this. Instead, RB Leipzig wants to have Diomande play in the Champions League and extend his contract prematurely to better terms. Whether RB Leipzig will become weak with offers beyond the 120 million euro mark remains to be seen. For now, the young star is expected to increase his market value through his World Cup appearances. The future of Yan Diomande remains exciting. The young striker has made a name for himself at RB Leipzig in the past season and will certainly continue to be observed by many top clubs. It remains to be seen whether RB Leipzig will be able to keep the young talent or if he will switch to another club after all.
