Transfer battle heats up as Yan Diomande could net RB Leipzig €130m

Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are locked in a bidding battle for 19-year-old Yan Diomande, with Liverpool having opened direct talks with RB Leipzig and now said to be in the strongest position. That contrasts with suggestions Diomande had already given PSG the green light; the player said: "I've been a PSG fan since I was a child.

I think my father was a PSG fan too. But I'm not worrying about the future; I'm focusing entirely on the World Cup. We'll see what happens after that." Diomande has also spoken warmly about Liverpool: "I'd like to play for Liverpool. I'm a huge Liverpool fan. My father dreams of seeing me play at Anfield one day.

That's my dream too – and I want to make it come true." Rumours have intensified as Liverpool search for a right winger to replace Mohamed Salah, who is set to leave Anfield this summer. The interest from two wealthy clubs and Diomande’s own preference for both destinations could play into Leipzig’s hands.
