BREAKING: Real Madrid have entered the race to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, according to @David_Ornstein . Liverpool have been linked with a move all summer, with PSG leading the race in the past few weeks. https://t.co/Du8WlLL1lq

Real Madrid have sent a €100M (€90M + €10M) bid this week for Yan Diomande, according to @FabrizioRomano. https://t.co/bFW9nXNNnQ

🚨 Real Madrid's proposal for Yan Diomande was €90m+€10m and has already been rejected. Real still in talks. Leipzig want around €130m (likely fixed), and have already pointed to the fact Florentino Perez campaigned promising a €150m signing. The bid is not identical to Liverpool's last rejected offer, which was €80m+€20m. 🎩 @BILD, @TheAthleticFC, who broke the interest.

Yan Diomande heading to Real Madrid, as revealed earlier. A few more days to finalise/formalise. Will reveal more on the exact fee in due course. Understand PSG has formally withdrawn its interest this evening, as first called by @FabriceHawkins. PSG sources say the asking price and salary demands were too inflated, and PSG will not break their principles or financial discipline.🇨🇮

🚨 BREAKING: Real Madrid and Leipzig have now verbally agreed on a fee for Yan Diomande. The deal is pending only board approval, which is likely to come this afternoon. Diomande is waiting to formalise the move. https://t.co/rRFtmzdlNc

🚨 Leipzig's board have now approved the sale of Yan Diomande to Real Madrid. €125m+€15m package. Diomande has permission to undergo his medical.⬇️ https://t.co/H7fls9YxAC

🚨⏳ Real Madrid now in pole position for Yan Diomande. He now has two verbal agreements in place - with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, both on contracts running at least until 2031. No verbal agreement with Manchester City. Both Real and PSG are fully informed about the current situation. Fresh contacts took place today. PSG are not giving up, while Real are pushing to reach an agreement with RB Leipzig with direct negotiations now. Leipzig are open to a sale, but €100 million is nowhere near enough. @SkySportDE @philipphinze24 🇨🇮

🚨⛰️ Yan Diomande has arrived at RB Leipzig‘s training camp in Austria. Diomande is fully fit again after recovering from his infection. Negotiations with Real Madrid are not in danger. They remain advanced, with the total package expected to significantly exceed €120m. Diomande has not yet been given the green light to undergo his medical with Real. Saga not over yet. @philipphinze24 | @SkySportDE 🇨🇮

🚨⚪️ BREAKING | RB Leipzig and Real Madrid are now in the final stages of completing Yan Diomande’s transfer. EXCL DET | The total package, including bonuses, is expected to be worth between €130m and €140m. The final structure is currently being discussed. No final green light for medical yet. @philipphinze24 @berger_pj 🇨🇮

🚨⚪️ BREAKTHROUGH! Real Madrid and RB Leipzig are now on the verge of completing the transfer of Yan Diomande. EXCL Details | The guaranteed transfer fee is €125 million. With realistic add-ons included, the package is expected to reach €135 million, while the overall deal could rise to €140 million if all difficult-to-achieve bonuses are met. Leganés will receive around 5% of the transfer profit as part of the agreement. Only the final formalities remain before the deal is signed off. @philipphinze24 @SkySportDE 🇨🇮

🚨🗣️ A new round of talks between Real Madrid & Leipzig for Yan Diomande is expected today. Leipzig continue to insist on a higher guaranteed fee compared to RM's previous offers, but there is confidence today could prove decisive. Yan is respectfully waiting for developments. https://t.co/kyrrvMXV8z

🚨📈 Progress has been made over the last 48 hours in talks between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig for Yan Diomande. The two clubs have considerably narrowed the gap, with optimism that today's new round of talks could prove decisive. https://t.co/jr9XeH9xe9

Yan Diomande favours a move to PSG, as @FabriceHawkins and @David_Ornstein called. Liverpool are currently inclined to explore other targets after seeing an €80m+€20m bid rejected. That was Liverpool's second offer. #LFC had made their own progress on the player side, and haven't to date been directly told Diomande doesn't want to join. However, sources close to Diomande say the Ivorian winger wants to play under Luis Enrique. PSG's interest in Diomande is also longstanding. Still work to be done between PSG and Leipzig as the German club are hoping Diomande stays and currently value him around €130m. If PSG get Diomande, Bradley Barcola, a Liverpool target, could be sold. Also a name on Arsenal's list of options. PSG have to date shut the door on an exit and been in on-off contract extension talks, but their stance could change. Liverpool have also been exploring Said El Mala, Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Yankuba Minteh, as revealed on @talkSPORT.🇨🇮 🤝 @alex_crook

🚨 Exclusive: Nasser Al-Khelaifi has now opened direct talks with Leipzig to try and close a deal for Yan Diomande. Understand former Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff, who is Chairman of the Supervisory Board, is directly involved in discussions with the PSG president. Pair have an excellent relationship. PSG confident on agreeing a fee.

Formal negotiations between PSG and Leipzig are already underway. Yan Diomande has also agreed terms on a five-year PSG contract, as @FabriceHawkins called.⬇️ https://t.co/P32CVRr4B8

Inside the Red Bull football group, and particularly at RB Leipzig, there is a growing conviction that Yan Diomande’s camp used Liverpool’s genuine interest as leverage to accelerate Paris Saint-Germain’s pursuit. Personal terms with Liverpool were indeed agreed, which subsequently led to an official approach to RB Leipzig, something that, as virtually everyone within the industry knows, does not happen without a prior agreement with the player. The prevailing belief today is that this sequence of events was designed to increase pressure on PSG to step up their efforts and move more decisively, which has now happened, while Liverpool have already moved on in recent days and shifted their focus towards other elite targets. It is worth noting that a growing number of senior figures across the European game privately point to the player’s representatives at Roc Nation Sports, the US-based agency handling Diomande, believing the negotiations were conducted with little regard for the long-established customs, discretion and unwritten code that have traditionally governed elite European football transfers, with several figures remarking that the approach felt more akin to an American franchise-style negotiation than the relationship-driven culture of Europe’s elite game, leaving many within RB Leipzig, Liverpool and wider industry circles privately describing the entire episode as an unnecessary circus that, in their view, eroded professionalism and trust.

RB Leipzig have informed Roc Nation in recent hours that Yan Diomande will not be allowed to leave the club this summer. Discussions remain ongoing between Diomande’s camp, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and RB Leipzig supervisory board chairman Oliver Mintzlaff over how a potential transfer to Paris could unfold next summer. The possibility of a contract extension at RB Leipzig, including a release clause specifically designed to facilitate a move to PSG next summer, is currently on the table. PSG, for their part, have not yet given up hope of signing Yan Diomande before the current window closes, but as things stand such a deal would be extremely difficult to complete, although a slight possibility still remains.

🚨: Yan Diomande is the clear No. 1 target. Talks are heating up. Liverpool want to land Yan Diomande before the World Cup. 🇨🇮💣 #LFC https://t.co/FnwMfrPSS1

🚨NEW: #LFC Liverpool will return to the table with an improved bid for Yan Diomande. 💣 https://t.co/HEsqpdxMzP

EXCL🚨: #LFC Liverpool ready to gear up for a new improved bid on Yan Diamande. They want their man. 💣 https://t.co/4LNLJ3gpR0

Understand the frustration because it’s been so quiet. It’s difficult to get much out of Liverpool this year. Relax when it comes to Diomande. Liverpool are very confident they’ll get the deal done. Absolute priority No. 1. I think these “alternative targets” being reported in the media are mainly to show Leipzig that Liverpool are prepared to walk away if they don’t come down to our valuation. Internally, though, Diomande is the only one they truly want. Liverpool are working hard behind the scenes. Massive summer ahead, I’m expecting 4–6 new additions this summer. 🔴 #LFC

BREAKING: Liverpool make contact for Yan Diomande https://t.co/VhXuwyXIj8

Confident that Yan Diomande gets done from here. Can't see Liverpool bidding without knowing everything else is in place. There's always a bit of postering from the selling club. *We negotiated hard, we rejected the first offer*. Yan Diomande and Victor Munoz would be great additions. They are fast pace players. What Iraola wants. High pressure with speed.

🚨 Liverpool are expected to return with an improved offer of around €115M for Yan Diomande. It would be incredible business for RB Leipzig who signed him for around €20M last summer. https://t.co/KWdK5nMDqG

Numerous reports now of Liverpool preparing a second bid for Diomande. Liverpool will bid again, as revealed on Friday. Yesterday was always going to be quiet with Ivory Coast playing. Expect things to move along now. https://t.co/NwavQhCZrm

🚨 #Liverpool Liverpool have made official contact with RB Leipzig over Yan Diomande. 🔥 The 19‑year‑old Ivorian winger has long been seen as a potential Salah replacement. 👀 Leipzig insist the player is not for sale, though PSG are also interested. https://t.co/5qpxqUnVlU https://t.co/vBXM5sv05u

🚨#Liverpool Liverpool are accelerating their pursuit of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande. 🔥 New boss Andoni Iraola is an admirer of the 19‑year‑old and sees him as a perfect fit. 👀 PSG are also keen, but Liverpool aim to beat them to his signature. 💰 Leipzig demand around €130M for one of Europe’s most highly rated young forwards.

🚨 Liverpool submitted a €100M bid for Leipzig's 19yo winger Yan Diomande. ⚪ Leipzig rejected it, demanding over €130M. PSG and Man City are also tracking him. @Fussballdaten https://t.co/m0mmgbuoXL https://t.co/9sI02eSDru

🚨#Liverpool RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande has chosen Anfield over PSG. 🔥 Although PSG were in his sights, their refusal to meet the transfer fee pushed the player towards Liverpool. 👀 The Reds are planning to finalize an agreement soon. 💰 If Leipzig’s demands are met, the fee will exceed £110M, with only the final figure left to settle.

Exclusive 💣 We understand that Liverpool Football Club has officially submitted a bid for Yan Diomande. We should see mainstream media picking up on this news in the coming days. Keep an eye out for updates, as this transfer saga is just getting started. https://t.co/aPEiiUnVx9

Liverpool still want to sign Yan Diomande after signing Víctor Muñoz. That is their number one choice.

Exclusive 💣 Jurgen Klopp has made it clear to Yan Diomande: staying at RB Leipzig for another season could be the best move for his development. But if he chooses to leave, Klopp believes @LFC is the place to be. Why? Because at Liverpool, Klopp believes he has the chance to become a global superstar. The club's history, the passionate fanbase, and Iraola’s track record of nurturing talent create an environment where Diomande can truly shine.

Liverpool source sent us the below:⬇️ PSG may be the clear front-runners for Yan Diomande, but don’t count Liverpool out just yet. I’ve heard that @LFC haven’t completely walked away from negotiations. They’re still in the mix, keeping a close eye on the situation. If PSG can’t seal the deal, Liverpool is ready to pounce. Liverpool officials are traveling to France to meet with some high-profile agents.

#LFC are still working on Yan Diomande in addition to Munoz and remain optimistic. There is competition from PSG, and it is not discounted a deal for his signature is closed during the World Cup. With @JacobsBen for @talkSPORT https://t.co/7dVqb0ApDt

#LFC have submitted a €100m offer for Yan Diomande. Expectation it will not be accepted. More on @talkSPORT with @JacobsBen

Latest on #LFC pursuit of Diomande here. Including clarity on their opening bid. https://t.co/wgd4W0373c

Looks like Liverpool pursuit of Diomande is over. Had 80+20 offer rejected. Leipzig still demanding a much higher price. Player also keen on PS @talkSPORT

🚨 Understand Liverpool are still working on Yan Diomande in addition to Victor Muñoz and are optimistic. There is competition from PSG, and it is not discounted by suitors that a deal for his signature is closed during the World Cup. 🤝 @alex_crook https://t.co/qX7uKlKXax

Liverpool will sign another attacker/winger in addition to Victor Muñoz. Optimism remains on Yan Diomande, but due to competition with PSG, and Leipzig's asking price, there are other targets. Understand pace is the key criteria. Also on the list are Köln's Said El Mala, Brighton's Yankuba Minteh and Lille's Matias Fernandez-Pardo. All options in case Diomande doesn't arrive. Bradley Barcola another player Liverpool have looked at this summer.🔴

🚨 Liverpool have had a bid rejected for Yan Diomande just south of €100m. Talks ongoing. Liverpool have other options as well, as revealed earlier. https://t.co/RIN5N9aX23

Understand Liverpool's bid for Yan Diomande was actually €80m+€20m not €90m+€10m, as originally thought. Liverpool view Diomande as a priority, while PSG could bid as well. Optimism player wants to join. Yet if Leipzig don't engage over a sale, Liverpool are also prepared to move on to other targets. Said El Mala, Yankuba Minteh and Matias Fernandez-Pardo among them, while Bradley Barcola appreciated. Diomande not expected to be a drawn out saga, as was the case with Alexander Isak 12 months ago. Liverpool waited all summer for Isak due to more complicated circumstances (Newcastle incomings influenced timeline), and knowing his form, peak age and status as a proven Premier League goalscorer all supported that waiting tactic. This window, there is urgency to add in wide areas and as a result Liverpool are not planning for Diomande pursuit to run into August. The €80m+€20m offer was pretty swiftly rejected and Liverpool are now assessing whether Leipzig are prepared to engage.🇨🇮 🤝 @alex_crook

Several months ago, I was the first to reveal that Liverpool FC, football’s most mythical institution, had identified Yan Diomandé as a priority target, while RB Leipzig were preparing a major internal effort to convince him to stay. That remains the case today, with Leipzig continuing to push heavily for an extension that would include a substantial salary increase and a release clause for the summer of 2027, while Jürgen Klopp remains personally involved in the process. However, despite those efforts, Leipzig have still not received the reassurances they were hoping for from Diomandé’s camp that he is willing to commit his long-term future to the club. I can now exclusively reveal that Leipzig have internally established a framework for a potential sale should Diomandé ultimately reject a new contract. In that scenario, the Bundesliga side would be prepared to accept a package worth €100 million (£86.2 million) guaranteed plus a further €20 million (£17.2 million) in bonuses, a figure that reflects both the player’s importance and the reality that the club do not intend to stand in his way if he makes it clear that an extension is not part of his plans. Liverpool’s interest remains concrete, with an opening proposal worth €90 million (£77.6 million) plus €10 million (£8.6 million) in bonuses already rejected, and there is a growing expectation within the Red Bull ecosystem that the Premier League’s crown jewel will return with an improved offer in the coming days rather than weeks. For now, Leipzig and Klopp will continue exhausting every possible avenue to keep Diomandé, but if the player ultimately decides his future lies elsewhere, the club are prepared to facilitate a departure on their terms rather than force a confrontation.

RB Leipzig’s Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Oliver Mintzlaff, maintains an excellent relationship with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and has held several conversations with him in recent days regarding Yan Diomandé, primarily to assess whether Paris Saint-Germain intend to enter the race and, if so, help Leipzig reassess the price they would ultimately demand from Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool have already made their intentions clear, but Leipzig were informed that PSG are currently not actively involving themselves in the pursuit despite holding a genuine interest in the player, as their immediate focus remains on the Bradley Barcola situation. Internally, RB Leipzig continue to believe that Diomandé’s priority lies with Liverpool, with feedback from the player’s camp suggesting that the contractual proposal from the Merseyside club stands significantly above those currently being discussed elsewhere. Beyond the financial aspect, there is a growing sense that the allure of Liverpool Football Club, that great red beacon of English football beneath the Merseyside skies, and the opportunity to grace the grand stages of the Premier League, holds a pull that is proving increasingly difficult for the player to ignore.

Ballon d’Or frontrunner Florian Wirtz faces Ivory Coast tonight in his second World Cup match for Germany, and on the pitch alongside him stands Yan Diomandé, the Ivorian phenomenon increasingly expected to join him at Liverpool Football Club, that eternal crimson citadel upon the banks of the Mersey, where the sacred hymn You’ll Never Walk Alone rises like a prayer into the night sky, where destiny is carried on the wind from the Kop, and where football long ago escaped the confines of sport to become something closer to myth. #AD (18+)

Arsenal made an enquiry for Yan Diomande, as reported yesterday on @talkSPORT. Purely exploratory at this stage. PSG continue to work on a deal, while Leipzig hope Diomande signs a new deal and/or stays for at least an extra season. Diomande has made it clear he favours PSG (terms on a five-year contract are in place) as well as a right-sided role. Player equally capable of both sides, but favours more minutes on the right.🇨🇮

RB Leipzig remain very clear in their stance despite PSG’s efforts. They want to keep Diomande beyond this summer, as Managing Director Marcel Schäfer confirmed. “Our clear intention is for Yan Diomande to play for RB Leipzig next season. And we’re not going to deviate from that. We know exactly what we have in him. Of course, if Yan continues to develop the way he has, the time will come when we’ll allow him to take the next step - but not this year.” “If we don’t find a solution, then we don’t find one - but he still has a four-year contract. So let me emphasize this once again: Yan Diomande will remain a Leipzig player,” Schäfer told BILD. @philipphinze24

Jurgen Klopp drops Yan Diomande transfer hint https://t.co/kHRY840I7T

“Diomande has given his commitment to a move to several clubs behind the scenes. At least Liverpool, Paris and the two clubs from Manchester assume that they are in pole position.” (BILD) https://t.co/kmXR3GZ1q5

🚨🇺🇸 Yan Diomande is now enjoying his holiday after an outstanding season with RB Leipzig and the Ivory Coast. Here together with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and DJ Khaled. Behind the scenes, Paris Saint-Germain continue to work on a deal, while RB Leipzig remain determined to keep Diomande and are fighting for him. @SkySportDE 🇨🇮

🚨⏳ As things stand, no agreement between RB Leipzig and Real Madrid/PSG for Yan Diomande. New talks today. New bids prepared. PSG remain fully in the race and are not giving up. Leipzig also haven’t ruled out Liverpool or ManCity, although Real Madrid and PSG are currently the most concrete options. Despite reports, there are currently no face-to-face talks between RB/Real in Leipzig. RB are not expecting an agreement today. Diomande is still on holiday, has not yet spoken with Leipzig and is due to return early next week. @philipphinze24 @SkySportDE 🇨🇮
