RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande has said he “expects to leave” the Bundesliga club this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Liverpool among the leading sides monitoring the Ivory Coast international’s situation, according to multiple reports.
The winger has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after young attackers following a breakout season in Germany, where his pace, direct dribbling and goal contribution record have drawn attention from several elite clubs.
Diomande’s comments, interpreted by observers as a clear signal that he sees his future away from Leipzig, are expected to intensify a growing transfer battle ahead of the new season.
Paris Saint-Germain are believed to be at the forefront of interest, with the French champions long tracking the winger as part of their ongoing squad refresh under Luis Enrique.
However, LIVERPOOL and Manchester United are also understood to be closely engaged in discussions around a potential deal, with both Premier League clubs identifying wide attacking reinforcements as a priority this summer.
Liverpool’s interest is driven in part by long-term uncertainty over their forward line, while United are continuing to reshape their attacking unit following a mixed campaign. PSG, meanwhile, are seen as offering a strong sporting project and Champions League stability, factors that could appeal to the player as he weighs up his next step.
“First of all, like I said, my dream is playing for my country and making history with my country,” he said ahead of his country’s World Cup last-32 tie against Norway on Tuesday.
“I don’t have Instagram anymore, I don’t have TikTok, so I can’t see anything but I expect to leave [RB Leipzig] of course.
“I have an agent who’s going to manage the rest, but for me the most important thing right now is focusing on the World Cup with my country and making history with them.”
Despite speculation, Leipzig are believed to still be considering offering improved terms in an attempt to retain the player beyond this window. The Bundesliga side have a strong track record of developing and either extending or selling high-value attacking talent, and Diomande’s situation is expected to follow a similar high-profile trajectory.
Diomande has also been cautious in public when addressing his future, previously stressing his focus on football commitments rather than transfer talk.
However, his latest remarks suggest a growing openness to a move, a development that will likely accelerate negotiations among interested clubs
