RB Leipzig are planning a performance-related pay rise for Yan Diomande after his breakout season, Sky Germany reports.

The 19-year-old has 11 goals and 6 assists across all competitions in his debut campaign. His form has drawn interest from several leading European clubs. Leipzig are working intensively in the background on his future.

Diomande is tied to a long-term contract until 2030, with no release clause.

Even so, he is not unsellable. Leipzig need to raise transfer revenue again this summer, with the Ivorian valued at around €100 million and rising.

Other departures are viewed as the primary source of income for now. Castello Lukeba, who is planning his next move, could bring €65 to €70 million, while a sale of Antonio Nusa could realistically fetch around €50 million.
