FC Bayern are apparently already working intensively on their long-term squad planning – and another attacking talent is increasingly coming into focus. As the TEAMtalk portal reports, the Munich club are specifically looking at RB Leipzig professional Yan Diomande

The 19-year-old winger is considered one of the most exciting attacking talents of his age across Europe

Since moving from Leganés to Leipzig around a year ago, the Ivorian has made remarkable progress and has quickly become the focus of numerous top clubs

In addition to FC Bayern, several Premier League heavyweights are also said to be looking closely at Diomande, with Liverpool in particular reported to be very interested

The Reds are apparently already looking for a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah, who will be leaving the club in the summer. According to reports, there have even already been initial talks between Liverpool and the player’s entourage

Manchester United and Arsenal FC are also keeping a close eye on the situation

Diomande as Olise’s successor?

However, RB Leipzig are not currently considering selling the youngster, and the Bundesliga club are said to have no interest in letting him leave in the summer

Diomande himself apparently feels very comfortable in Leipzig and continues to see optimal conditions for his development there

Interestingly, however, according to TEAMtalk, FC Bayern are not planning a short-term transfer anyway. Internally, the Munich club are more likely to consider signing him in the summer of 2027

What is particularly exciting is that Michael Olise is apparently also playing an important role in Bayern’s considerations. The Frenchman has been one of the team’s absolute top performers since moving to Munich and has even been linked with the Ballon d’Or

„We will have him with us for many years to come“

Due to his strong performances, numerous top international clubs have been keeping an eye on the 24-year-old. Bayern boss Jan-Christian Dreesen recently emphasized that a sale is not an issue at the moment. „We will have him with us for many years to come,“ explained the CEO

Nevertheless, it seems that the team at Säbener Straße are preparing for different scenarios internally, which is precisely why Diomande apparently remains a hot topic at the German record champions

With his pace, dynamism and flexibility, the Ivorian would fit perfectly into Bayern’s current requirements profile

Whether this will actually turn into a concrete transfer remains to be seen
