Liverpool and Manchester United scouting RB Leipzig captain David Raum | OneFootball

Scouts from both Liverpool and Manchester United were present as RB Leipzig secured a 1-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Red Bull Arena at the weekend, according to Teamtalk.

Both Premier League clubs are among a number of top sides linked with Yan Diomande, who was one of the players being monitored – but the report suggests that captain David Raum was also under observation.

After being handed the captain’s armband last summer, the 27-year-old left-back has enjoyed an impressive season, producing three goals and eight assists in 32 appearances.

The German international has previously admitted that a move to the Premier League appeals to him.

"I have never made a secret of the fact that the Premier League is something special. Not only is the league strong in general, but as a physically strong player I really like it," Raum told Sport Bild last year.

“There's no hurry”

With his contract running until 2026, Bulinews asked Raum back in January whether he had held talks with RB Leipzig over a possible extension.

“No, not yet. I just focus on my game and my new role at the club (as captain, editor's note). I have a contract beyond this season, so there's no hurry at the moment,” he told Bulinews.com.

"If the club comes to me, of course we can sit together and talk about it, but at the moment it's not a big topic. 

“I'm very happy here at the moment and have a clear goal with the team this season, and that's all I focus on. Playing at my second World Cup after the season is another goal I have, and then we'll see after that.”
