Yan Diomande has become one of the most exciting names on the European football stage. The winger from Ivory Coast, who was born in 2007, has shown impressive development in the last two years and performed outstandingly at the World Cup.

According to a report from Sky Germany, the German club values Diomande at much more than 100 million euros, the amount Liverpool are willing to offer. RB Lipsia plans to keep the young talent for at least one more season, by offering him a new contract and a significant salary increase.

Liverpool remain among the admirers of Diomande, who recently made an excellent World Cup debut with a 1-0 win over Ecuador. Behind that, there are also big clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Manchester United and Bayern Munich who are very concerned about developments in the situation.
Diomande's career journey is one of the most astonishing in recent years. He was bought by RB Lipsia from Leganés for around 20 million euros just a year ago, when he was still rarely starting in Spain. Now, he is considered one of the most promising prospects in international football. And there is a feeling that its value will continue to increase as time goes by.
