Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are all keeping a close eye on RB Leipzig youngster Yan Diomande.
That’s according to SportBILD, who report that the 18-year-old dribbler is very much on the shortlist at all three clubs. In fact, ‘all of Europe’ is chasing him at this point.
The newspaper reports that Diomande has been impressing quickly since joining Leipzig from Leganés in the summer. He’s now scored three and provided three assists in his last three games.
And when it comes to dribbling, he tops the charts. That’s in attempts and successful dribbles. Only Union Berlin’s Oliver Burke is slightly faster.
Diomande is very much the breakout start of this Bundesliga season. And the Premier League is watching him closely.
Scouts from across Europe are regularly attending games to assess the winger. Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are among them. The unanimous opinion is that Diomande is ‘one of the greatest talents in Europe’.
Yan Diomande compared to Mbappé and Dembélé

DORTMUND, GERMANY – 4 OCTOBER, 2025: Yan Diomande, Ramy Bensebaini – The 1.Bundesliga match Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig at Signal Iduna Park.
Everyone believes he could have a similar career to Kylian Mbappé or Ousmane Dembélé. The feeling at Leipzig is that one top club will make a move next summer. The German club aren’t concerned about that.
Instead, they’re eyeing a huge profit on the €20m they paid in the summer. That won’t be enough to get him next year. Leipzig wants to get €100m for him, breaking that barrier for the first time. Their current record is the €90m from Josko Gvardiol’s move to Manchester City.
Whether Liverpool, Chelsea or City will offer such a figure, remains to be seen. But Diomande is impressing and everyone is watching him.
