Liverpool has agreed personal terms with Yan Diomande, the 19-year-old Ivorian winger who turned heads across Europe during a breakout season at RB Leipzig. The two clubs are now negotiating the transfer fee, which is shaping up to be one of the most expensive deals of the summer window.
Leipzig reportedly values Diomande at around €130 million, roughly £112 million or $151 million. When a player scores 12 goals and dishes out 9 assists in a single Bundesliga campaign, the price tag starts to make a certain kind of sense.
From Leganés to Leipzig to Anfield
Born on November 14, 2006, the winger made his move to RB Leipzig in July 2025 after the German club triggered his €20 million release clause at Spanish side Leganés.
That €20 million investment has appreciated roughly six-fold in twelve months. Leipzig didn’t just get a squad player. They got the Bundesliga’s Rookie of the Season for the 2025/26 campaign.
