RB Leipzig's winger Yan Diomande is in the sights of Real Madrid. The Royal Club is working hard to sign the 19-year-old Ivory Coast international after failing to secure Michael Olise. However, RB Leipzig demands €120 million or would accept €100 million if the player stays for another season on loan. Diomande had a strong season, scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists in 36 Bundesliga games. RB Leipzig finished the 2025 season in third place with 65 points (20 wins, 5 draws, 9 losses).
What's on the table?
Real Madrid is ready to offer around €100 million for Diomande. The German club, however, is reluctant to let their star go easily. PSG has already agreed on personal terms with the player and could meet RB Leipzig's financial demands. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are also interested. Liverpool reportedly made a €100 million offer, which was rejected.
Why is Diomande so sought-after?
The 19-year-old emerged as one of Europe's most promising young wingers last season. With 13 goals and nine assists in 36 Bundesliga games, he showcased his immense potential. RB Leipzig's last four games ended with two wins and two losses (LLWW). The last defeat was a 4-1 loss to SC Freiburg on May 16, 2026.
What's next?
The upcoming talks between RB Leipzig and PSG could be decisive for Diomande's future. If the French champions meet the financial demands, Real Madrid will have to decide whether to match the offer. RB Leipzig's currently sidelined player Viggo Gebel could play a bigger role next season if Diomande leaves the club.
