Liverpool will need to pay at least €100m if they wish to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig in the near future.
That’s according to BILD, who provide comments from Red Bull boss Oliver Mitzlaff on the subject. He’s keen to set the stage for another huge sale at the German club in future.
Their current record is Josko Gvardiol’s €90m move to Manchester City in 2023. That’s a figure they absolutely want to break with Diomande.
He’s one of the rising stars in the Bundesliga and, indeed, Europe. His performances in Germany this season have earned him attention of all the big clubs, including Liverpool. They, of course, could have an advantage given Jurgen Klopp is currently in charge of football operations for Red Bull.
But even if that were the case, Mintzlaff is determined that €100m is the bare minimum they expect to receive.
“Even if an offer of €80 or €90 million comes in, he’s still here,” he told Sky when asked about the 19-year-old.
Liverpool have a distinct advantage
Yan Diomande
MOENCHENGLADBACH, GERMANY – 28 NOVEMBER, 2025: Yan Diomande – 1. Bundesliga football match Borussia Moenchengladbach vs RB Leipzig at Borussia Park.
Fortunately for Liverpool, Diomande is on record as wanting to move to Anfield at some point. We covered that in a report earlier this month.
Diomande was speaking on a TikTok live stream, where he was asked about his dream club. He didn’t hesitate to show his admiration for Liverpool in response.
“I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a huge Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!” he was quoted as saying.
With multiple Premier League giants being linked to Diomande this week, and interest from across Europe too, Liverpool have a distinct advantage.
Bayern Munich see the player as a major summer target, and may face a similar disappointment to what they experienced with Florian Wirtz.
