Diomande Names Liverpool Dream as Leipzig Stand Firm Despite Bayern Links

Leipzig indicate they intend to keep the 19-year-old, who is under contract until 2030 without a release clause.

Overview

  • Bild reports Diomande will return from AFCON and is set to be in Leipzig’s squad for Wednesday’s home match against Freiburg.
  • In a TikTok live video, the winger said he wants to play for Liverpool and called appearing at Anfield his and his father’s dream.
  • Sky and Bild report Bayern have listed him as a left‑wing option, while TV expert Lothar Matthäus cautioned Bayern may not need another winger and that the teenager may not be ready for the next step.
  • Leipzig’s Marcel Schäfer reiterated the club’s plan to retain key talents; Bild adds there is no release clause, an internal valuation of at least €100 million, and Oliver Mintzlaff said only a vastly above‑market offer would be considered.
  • The 19-year-old has six goals and two assists in 14 Bundesliga games and led AFCON in successful 1v1s per Opta, with reports placing his current market estimate around €45 million.
