Paris Saint‑Germain's trophy chase fuels hunt for 19‑year‑old Diomande

Paris Saint‑Germain, intent on bolstering its attacking options, have set their sights on 19‑year‑old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande, whose potential move from RB Leipzig looms amid interest from Liverpool and a €130 million price tag. The transfer could see him join a project led by chairman Nasser Al‑Khelaifi and coach Luis Enrique.

Paris Saint‑Germain’s ambition to compete for trophies under Luis Enrique drives the search for a dynamic right‑winger. Diomande believes the club’s project, overseen by chairman Nasser Al‑Khelaifi and technical advisor Luis Campos, matches his own aspirations.

RB Leipzig signed Diomande from CD Leganés a year ago for €20 million. After a solid debut season in the Bundesliga, the Ivorian international has attracted attention from clubs across Europe.

Diomande is under a four‑year contract with Leipzig, making any move uncertain. The German side hopes to secure an extension, but if that fails it is targeting a transfer fee around €130 million.

Liverpool previously indicated willingness to pay almost €100 million for the winger. Such a bid would still fall short of Leipzig’s valuation.

Diomande will represent Ivory Coast against Norway in the World Cup round‑of‑16 on Tuesday. The game is a knockout‑stage encounter.

A summer transfer remains unconfirmed, as Leipzig is reluctant to lose the player without a satisfactory deal, and negotiations will hinge on contract terms and the final fee.
