RB Leipzig set to resist €80-90 million bids for Yan Diomande amid Bayern links | OneFootball

RB Leipzig are prepared to reject €80-90 million offers for Yan Diomande, Oliver Mintzlaff said on Saturday, despite Bayern Munich interest.

According to BuLi News, the 19-year-old joined from Leganes around six months ago for a reported €20 million and has quickly attracted several top European clubs.

"As chairman of the supervisory board, I would say he will definitely be with us next season," he told Sky. He added that "not a single interested club has come forward yet".

Mintzlaff said, "You simply can’t let go of such a young player, whom we just signed, after only one year." He added, "He’s extremely young and playing his first Bundesliga season. We’ve worked to ensure that players can stay a bit longer."

He also accepted that keeping Diomande long term may be difficult, saying, "The truth is that, while we are a very ambitious Bundesliga club, there are also other top clubs."

Bayern’s Max Eberl praised the signing after a 5-1 win at the Red Bull Arena. "It was a typical RB transfer," he said. "They did a good job there. But with Lucho Díaz, we opted for an established player, where you have more reliability that he will perform immediately at Bayern."
