Yan Diomande, the 19-year-old RB Leipzig forward (under contract until 2030) and Ivory Coast international, was reported to be very close to joining Paris Saint-Germain in recent hours. Bild and Sky Sport however claim that things are still far from settled in talks with the German club.

According to information gathered by BILD Sport, RB Leipzig are still working on extending Diomande’s contract with significantly improved financial terms. A move to Paris is not currently on the agenda for the German sporting management, led by sporting director Marcel Schäfer. Despite Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s intervention with Red Bull boss Oliver Mintzlaff, it seems unlikely that the chairman of RB Leipzig’s supervisory board will be willing to let Diomande leave!

Sky Sport DE confirms: Leipzig’s position is to keep Diomande, with a contract extension including a release clause and a higher salary. Leipzig would only be willing to let Diomande leave in exchange for an exceptionally high transfer fee, above €130 million.

Careful, nothing is certain here. This is still only a rumor, and we have already seen the German media get PSG’s recruitment wrong. Not to mention the possibility of media maneuvering, with Leipzig wanting to make it clear that the transfer will not be easy. Even if Diomande wants to join Paris. Which has not been confirmed either, so we remain cautious while things are still unclear.

There are reasons to believe in a transfer, except we also know that the transfer market can be surprising and change quickly. So we are waiting for concrete developments in order to be sure. The negotiations could at least take time, even though the media were quick to talk about a resolution.
