Leipzig Insist on No January Sale for Yan Diomande as Elite Clubs Step Up Scouting

Leipzig’s addition of Suleiman Sani has sparked talk of future flexibility, but guidance from well-sourced reporters still points to a summer timeline.

Overview

  • Fabrizio Romano reports Leipzig will keep the 19-year-old winger this month, with Manchester United, PSG and Bayern Munich continuing to send scouts ahead of a likely summer push.
  • Liverpool’s interest is described as a strong positional fit by Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, with further reporting indicating the club is tracking Diomande for a potential move later in the year.
  • Tottenham are keen but a January deal is viewed as unlikely, with Football London reporting Leipzig would not consider a sale below roughly £65m.
  • Diomande has impressed in his first season at Leipzig, scoring seven goals in 16 appearances and earning minutes for Ivory Coast at AFCON.
  • He joined Leipzig last summer on a long-term deal running to 2030, reinforcing the club’s leverage despite fresh depth on the wings following the Sani move.
