After an outstanding debut season with RB Leipzig, rising star Yan Diomande reportedly caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain, alongside Premier League giants Liverpool. It appears the Reds are now poised to secure the young talent, having reportedly reached an agreement with the player. Meanwhile, sources close to the Parisian club indicate that the asking price for Diomande’s transfer was deemed excessive, leading to a reevaluation of their interest.
The 19-year-old winger truly shone in his first year with RB Leipzig, bagging an impressive 13 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions. His stellar form continued into his 2026 World Cup qualifying debut for Côte d’Ivoire, where he helped secure a crucial 1-0 victory against Ecuador. Following that match, Diomande faced questions regarding his future, with both PSG and Liverpool frequently mentioned as potential destinations.
“arriving in the united states, i’m told he’ll sign for liverpool”
Addressing the swirling transfer rumors, Yan Diomande stated, “My agents are handling those matters; my focus is entirely on the World Cup. It’s the most important thing right now. This opportunity doesn’t come around often, only every four years, so I’m making the most of it. The rest, we’ll see.” Even Côte d’Ivoire’s national coach, Emerse Faé, was pressed on the subject. He remarked, “When we were in France for preparation, journalists were saying he would sign for PSG. Now, today, I arrive in the United States, and I’m told he’ll sign for Liverpool. We’ll have to wait and see. I believe he is very concentrated on the World Cup first, and then he will make the best decision for the next step in his career.”

It now appears that Liverpool has gained the upper hand in the race to sign Diomande. The English club has reportedly reached an agreement with the Ivorian international, who boasts 12 senior caps. Meanwhile, Parisian management has reportedly decided against advancing further in negotiations. The capital club was reportedly deterred by RB Leipzig’s substantial valuation, with the German side demanding no less than €120 million to part ways with Yan Diomande.
