  • RB Leipzig is demanding 130 million euros for the 19-year-old footballer, according to Sky Sports.
  • Liverpool recently had a 100 million euro offer for the player rejected by Leipzig.
  • Paris Saint-Germain has also shown interest, but has not yet made a formal offer.

RB Leipzig is reportedly seeking a staggering 130 million euros for the highly-rated 19-year-old footballer, according to Sky Sports. This valuation comes after the German club rejected a 100 million euro bid from Liverpool for the player.

The young talent, Yan Diomande, has attracted significant attention from top European clubs following his impressive debut season in Germany. Diomande, who represents Ivory Coast internationally, scored 13 goals and provided nine assists for Leipzig in his first season after joining from Spanish side Leganes for 20 million euros last summer.

European champions Paris Saint-Germain have also expressed interest in signing Diomande. However, the French club has not yet submitted a formal offer to Leipzig for the promising player.

Diomande's rapid rise has made him one of the most sought-after young players in European football. His performance has significantly boosted RB Leipzig's attacking options, and his potential future transfer is expected to be a major talking point in the upcoming transfer window.
