Too expensive? Bayern allegedly wave off offensive star | OneFootball

FC Bayern are currently evaluating their options for the upcoming transfer window very carefully, with one potential attacking player in particular causing clear internal priorities.

In the summer, another attacker could become a major topic on the international market. According to BILD soccer boss Christian Falk, however, RB Leipzig are demanding a transfer fee of around 100 million euros for Yan Diomande – an amount that FC Bayern are not prepared to pay. In addition, after the signing of Luis Díaz, there is no acute need on the left flank.

Despite this high sum, several Premier League clubs are expecting an open race. According to Falk, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool FC are keeping a close eye on the 19-year-old and monitoring his development closely.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, FC Bayern have recently been looking closely at a possible transfer of the attacking player despite the horrendous transfer fee and have already held initial exploratory talks. In the background, however, a special agreement from the past is causing further considerable uncertainty. This is intended to prevent Diomande from conducting transfer talks via his current advisors, which could make potential interested parties legally vulnerable.

Another particularly tricky clause is that the 19-year-old would have to cede his image rights to his former agency Maxidel until January 2031 in the event of a breach. The value of these rights is estimated at more than seven million euros. Tavolieri made it clear that under such conditions, „no serious club would take the risk of completing a transfer before the legal situation has been fully clarified“.

Leipzig’s sporting performance could also play a decisive role in Diomande’s future. According to Sport BILD, the transfer strategy depends largely on whether the club qualifies for the Champions League. If this goal is missed, the club would have to generate considerable revenue, with Diomande among the possible candidates for sale.

Internally, Munich have reportedly set a clear price limit. Transfer fees of well over 60 million euros are out of the question, especially in view of the legally unclear contractual situation. A move to the record champions therefore seems unrealistic at present, unless Leipzig massively reduce their demands.
