German club insists Arsenal target will stay for one more season – Diomande

Arsenal are interested in signing Yan Diomande and are pushing alongside Paris Saint-Germain to add the attacker to their squad during this transfer window. However, the forward could remain at RB Leipzig, with the German club determined to keep hold of one of their key players despite growing interest in his services.

Before the World Cup began, Liverpool made a strong attempt to sign the Ivorian attacker and submitted a significant bid for his signature. RB Leipzig rejected the offer and maintained that the player was not available for transfer, signalling their intention to retain him for the foreseeable future.

RB Leipzig remain firm on Diomande

The Bundesliga club are eager for Diomande to stay for at least one more season and are reportedly prepared to offer him a new contract this summer. Arsenal are nevertheless prepared to test their resolve as they continue their efforts to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

After missing out on Morgan Rogers, the Gunners have identified Diomande as a player they would like to add to their squad during this transfer window. The club are keen to improve their attacking quality and believe the Ivorian could provide an important boost as they prepare for the season ahead.

Arsenal face major transfer obstacle

According to Fichajes, RB Leipzig have not changed their position regarding Diomande’s future and continue to insist that he is not available for sale during this transfer window. The club regard him as one of the standout players in their squad and are determined to ensure that he remains part of their plans, meaning they are expected to reject any approach from Arsenal.

It remains unclear what Diomande’s stance will be when he returns from his holiday. He had reportedly been hopeful of securing a move following an impressive summer at the World Cup and an outstanding season in Germany. Whether he continues to pursue a transfer or accepts RB Leipzig’s desire to keep him at the club could become one of the key talking points before the transfer window closes.
