RB Leipzig's winger, Ian Diomande, who has long stood out in the Bundesliga with his own style, has attracted serious interest in the European market. The 19-year-old talent has the opportunity to continue his career in the English Premier League - it's not just about interest, but about a big project and big money.
According to the English press, Manchester City is preparing to allocate substantial funds to acquire the player. This was reported by journalist Florian Plettenberg. So, things are getting serious: "City" usually makes tough calculations in every transfer, but this time too, it seems the "early talent acquisition" plan has started working.
According to the source, RB Leipzig is demanding €100 million for Diomande. The reason is clear: the club's internal goal is to set a new transfer record. That is, not only the player, but also Leipzig's brand and market position are at stake.
Interestingly, the biggest sale in RB Leipzig's history so far is considered to be Yoshko Guardiol's move to Manchester City for 88 million euros. Now the German club wants to raise this line even higher - through Diomande.
Diomande, however, is justifying this trust on the field. This season, he played 19 matches in all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 6 assists. That is, he is a winger who gives not only speed and dribbling, but also results. According to Transfermarkt, the player's current market value is around 45 million euros.
Now the intrigue is one: how does City "put down" the 100 million demand? Bargaining, bonuses, additional conditions - everything is possible. But one thing is clear: the movements around Diomande will undoubtedly become one of the most interesting topics in the transfer market this winter or in the coming months.
