Leipzig push new deal for breakout star Yan Diomande as Man United, Liverpool circle | OneFootball

RB Leipzig are hoping to agree a new contract with Yan Diomande in a bid to keep the winger at the club.

Diomande has emerged as one of Europe's most in-demand young talents after a brilliant breakout campaign at Leipzig this season. The teenager arrived in Germany from Leganes last summer and has taken to theBundesliga with ease.

Diomande has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 21 league starts for Leipzig, form which has attracted interest from Europe's top teams.

Manchester United and Liverpool have both sent scouts to watch the Ivorian extensively, with the data demonstrating his potential.

Diomande ranks in the top 10% of all wingers across Europe's top-five leagues for progressive carries, successful dribbles, non-penalty goals, assists and chances created.

Bayern Munich also admire the teenager, with Leipzig now working to tie him down to a new deal. The German side want to reward Diomande with an improved deal that reflects his performances and does not include a release clause.

Sky Germany are reporting that Leipzig are determined to keep hold of the player for another season at least, though would entertain offers starting at €100m (£87.1m) in the summer.

That fee would represent a rapid rise for Diomande, who was signed for just €20m (£17.4m) after Leganes were relegated from La Liga last season.
