The European champions are working on strengthening their attack
The future of young Ivorian winger Yann Diomandi remains controversial, given the growing interest from Europe’s biggest clubs in the current summer transfer window, despite Leipzig’s insistence that he stay on.
In this regard, the newspaper reported Bild The German newspaper reported on Thursday that Diomandy, 19, has ended his 2026 World Cup holiday and is expected to return to training at Leipzig next week ahead of the start of the team’s camp in Austria, although the club has not set an exact date for his return.

The newspaper adds that Leipzig had previously rejected a €100m offer from Liverpool while the player was at the World Cup, taking advantage of Diomande’s commitment to a contract that runs until the summer of 2030 without a penalty clause.
He noted that “Liverpool” is no longer the only club that wants to acquire the player, as “Arsenal”, “Real”, “Manchester City” and “Paris Saint-Germain” have also expressed their willingness to pay 100 million euros.
Diomande has also reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to extend his contract until 2031, but the French club have not yet made an official offer to Leipzig.
Pressure on Paris
According to the report, those close to the player are trying to cooperate with the agency Rock Nation Whoever runs their business is putting pressure on Paris Saint-Germain to speed up talks with Leipzig, fearing another club will enter the deal line.
He drew Bild While PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was present alongside Red Bull president Oliver Mintzlaff at the World Cup final in New York, it allowed for talks between the two sides.
Leipzig, on the other hand, are demanding at least €120m to agree to the sale of Diomande, but have been less convinced of keeping him for an extra season, even with the idea of loaning him out again, something Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique reportedly rejects.
The paper concluded by stating that “Leipzig’s management knows the great technical and marketing value that Diomande represents, but at the same time knows that keeping a player who does not want to continue can have a negative impact on the atmosphere of the team, as happened with Xavi Simmons in the past”.
