„You should not be underestimated“: Bayern continue to get involved in the Diomande poker game | OneFootball

Yan Diomande is undoubtedly one of the absolute shooting stars of the current season, and FC Bayern have long had him on their radar

RB Leipzig undoubtedly pulled off a real coup when they signed the Ivorian in the summer of 2025. Diomande had only been playing for Leganes in the second Spanish division for six months when Leipzig snapped him up for around €20 million, which sounded like a lot of money at the time

However, it quickly became clear that this was a sum that could be paid for the player without hesitation. Diomande did not need any time to get up to speed in the Bundesliga. After 29 competitive matches for Leipzig, he now has eleven goals and eight assists, has also initiated a lot with his pace and set up many chances

Diomande still in FC Bayern’s sights

It is no secret that the record champions from Munich are also interested in the player. They already took note of this more than a month ago. It is clear that the transfer fee will be very high in the summer if a club wants to secure the services of the Ivorian. 80 million euros will probably be due as a minimum, with some media talking about significantly more, especially as RB has no great interest in selling the player

Under certain circumstances, however, Leipzig could be forced to do just that, namely if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League. And it is precisely in this case that the top teams in Europe are already lining up, including FC Bayern

This has now been confirmed once again by Fabrizio Romano: „Bayern and PSG should not be underestimated, because if they decide to go for Diomande, they could be serious competitors in the race against the Premier League clubs,“ said the Italian transfer expert

Both giants are monitoring the player, and both have already carried out background checks. It looks like there could be a really exciting race for the Ivorian. In any case, the poker has already started.
