Overview
- Diomande has six goals and three assists across his last six league matches, highlighted by a hat-trick in Leipzig’s 6–0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt that made him the second-youngest treble-scorer in Bundesliga history.
- FIFA’s release window begins December 15 and the Africa Cup starts December 21 in Morocco, so he will miss the December 20 trip to Bayer Leverkusen and could be absent for up to three additional Leipzig games through January 18.
- Germany faces Ivory Coast in the 2026 World Cup group stage, and German media frame Diomande’s form as a warning for Julian Nagelsmann’s side, with a potential direct duel against Leipzig teammate David Raum.
- Signed from CD Leganés for a reported €20 million in the summer, Diomande has quickly become a first-choice winger after an early adaptation period.
- Multiple outlets report top European clubs are monitoring him as media valuations jump from roughly €1.5 million to €20 million, with speculative figures as high as €100 million, though he is under contract at Leipzig until 2030.
