RB Leipzig have set an asking price of €130 million for 19‑year‑old winger Yan Diomande, sources told ESPN. The Ivorian burst onto the Bundesliga after joining from Leganes for €20 million, delivering 12 goals and nine assists this campaign and earning Rookie of the Season honors. His contract runs to 2030, giving Leipzig ample leverage. His pace and dribbling helped Leipzig clinch Champions League.

Liverpool and Paris Saint‑Germain have both been linked with the prodigy, but Leipzig insist any offer must match their valuation. The club faces no financial pressure to sell below that figure, and a “remarkable” bid would be required to trigger talks, and could spark a bidding war. Diomande’s World Cup participation with the Ivory Coast could further inflate his market value.

With a year left before his contract expires, Leipzig could also pursue an extension while fielding offers. Diomande emphasized his gratitude to the club for off‑field support and pledged to give his all on the pitch. Unless a club meets the €130 million tag, Leipzig will retain the league’s breakout star, making him one of the most valuable assets in Germany.
