Liverpool just got told no. RB Leipzig has flatly rejected a €100 million bid for 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande, signaling they believe the Ivorian’s price tag has room to climb.

The offer reportedly broke down to €90 million guaranteed plus €10 million in potential add-ons.

Leipzig is playing the long game

The club has internally valued Diomande at up to €130 million, a figure that could become easier to justify if the teenager performs well for Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup.

The decision to keep Diomande for at least one more season reflects Leipzig’s long-term strategy of nurturing high-potential talents while resisting short-term financial allure.
