RB Leipzig have already made a first offer of 12 million euros for Ousmane Diao, which was rejected by FC Midtjylland, according to exclusive sources from Africafoot.

According to an exclusive from Africafoot, RB Leipzig has targeted Ousmane Diao since April. An offer from RB Leipzig of around 12 million euros is now considered insufficient because of the entry of English clubs.

RB Leipzig is targeting Senegal U23 international Ousmane Diao for a potential move this summer. According to sources close to the 21-year-old defender, RB Leipzig's management has contacted Midtjylland's board to inquire about his situation. There are discussions about a potential 12 million euro offer from the German club to sign the player, who could be offered a five-year contract. The club's sporting director, Marcel Schäfer, reportedly highly values the defender's profile and wants to sign him to strengthen the team's defense as soon as next week. Diao joined FC Midtjylland in July 2024, has a contract until 2029, and a current Transfermarkt market value of €8.00m. Several other clubs, including AFC Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Eintracht Frankfurt, have also been linked with the player.
