Barcelona face uphill battle to sign 19-year-old RB Leipzig sensation – Report | OneFootball

The attack was one of the positions that FC Barcelona strengthened the most in the last summer transfer window, as they brought in the likes of Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji.

Despite these additions, the Catalans are still being linked with new attacking players, especially with some of them who are showing a lot of promise since the start of this season.

One player that falls in this category is the RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande, who is shining in his first season in the Bundesliga, particularly with his speed, dribbling ability, and power.

In fact, Fichajes reports that he is already attracting attention from some of the biggest sides in Europe, including that of FC Barcelona.

As things stand, the Blaugranes are closely monitoring the Ivorian winger. However, their precarious financial position can create some barriers for them in their pursuit, especially as RB Leipzig are not expected to lower their asking price from €100 million for the player.

Meanwhile, the presence of Manchester City and other Premier League giants in the race for the forward can also further complicate a potential move for Barcelona, and it remains to be seen whether the Blaugranes would make a move for him.
