Yan Diomande Transfer from RB Leipzig to Manchester United
Manchester United is monitoring Leipzig winger Yan Diomandé for a summer transfer, after having failed to sign Antoine Semenyo in January. A deal for Diomandé is valued at 100 million euros and is considered difficult due to competition, according to Manchester Evening News. Manchester United is relying on his national teammate Amad Diallo to try to convince the winger to join the club.
Team Talk reports that within recruitment circles, there is a growing belief that Yan Diomande is the primary option being explored by Manchester United as a replacement for Rashford. It has been reported that other clubs which have enquired about the RB Leipzig winger have understood that Manchester United are a significant contender and could be the leading contender to sign him when the summer window opens. Diomande's cost could be up to €100m (£86m / $118m).
On December 31, sources confirmed that United have communicated with Yan Diomande's entourage to register their interest. RB Leipzig do not want to lose Diomande at this stage of his career and will require a minimum of €100m (£87m) to sell him this summer, a figure that could potentially rise to €120m (£104m).
RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff has claimed that Yan Diomande will not be available in the summer. Many believe this is posturing and that Leipzig will sell if their valuation is met. Some suitors are hopeful that Diomande's price will drop to €60m, but Leipzig are currently maintaining the €100m figure. Florian Plettenberg reports that Diomande's final valuation will be informed by his performances in the second half of the season.
Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are monitoring Yan Diomande. Due to a €100m / £87m price, potential buyers are considering Diomande more as a summer target than a mid-season one. According to Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports, neither Tottenham nor Manchester United plan to bid for Diomande in the final days of the winter window. It is believed that clubs are currently not prepared to make an offer given the high asking price.
Manchester United are monitoring Yan Diomande but either have other priorities right now or are not ready to make a significant financial commitment. RB Leipzig have informed all interested parties that any negotiation will only begin at €100 million.
Oliver Mintzlaff stated to Sky Germany on Saturday that Yan Diomande will definitely remain at RB Leipzig next season, even if there were an offer of €80m or €90m.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Diomande is preparing to leave Leipzig this summer, initiating a major transfer battle between United and Liverpool.
Manchester United is among the top clubs monitoring Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig. According to a report, Diomande has no release clause in his contract, which runs until 2030, and RB Leipzig has set an internal price tag of at least 100 million euros. Red Bull boss Oliver Mintzlaff told Sport BILD that only an offer that was immoral and far above market value could make the club consider a sale.
According to TEAMtalk, the belief is that Yan Diomande prioritises a move to Anfield over any approach from Manchester United.
According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United have presented a contract offer to RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande. United appear to have offered a fee of approximately €70m, but were informed that this would not be sufficient. The Bundesliga side is demanding a sum greater than €100m for Diomande, whose contract is valid until June 2030. Leipzig is determined to retain the winger until the summer.
Claims that United made a €90m (£78m) bid for Yan Diomande are inaccurate, but the club is interested in the winger. According to sources, a bid of £100m or more would be required to sign him from RB Leipzig. The sources insist that Leipzig will not sell for less than €120m (£104m).

Tottenham Hotspur was the first Premier League club to send scouts to watch Yan Diomande, and Manchester United was subsequently alerted to him.

A source close to Red Bull, while not specifying a price, stated it would take double that amount for them to consider a sale in January. A source close to Red Bull said that Diomande is special and that the club is aware of this. The same source added that speculation is continuous, but Diomande is not leaving this summer. The source also stated that while every player has a price, a large sum of money would be required to sign him this month, and they do not believe such amounts will be offered. A transfer for Diomande is not expected this month. However, Manchester United will continue to monitor his progress during the second half of the season, and a potential summer transfer is being considered.

David Ornstein of The Athletic has confirmed that a fee of €100m may be required to sign Diomande this summer.

Fabrizio Romano revealed that Manchester United are extremely keen on RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande. Romano said a large amount of money will be required to sign the player, stating that €60-70m (£52-61m) would be insufficient to convince Leipzig and that the fee would need to be higher. Leipzig reportedly view Diomande as one of the world's most promising talents and will demand €100m (£87m) before selling. According to Romano's personal opinion, a transfer is more probable in the summer than in January.

Sky Sports revealed that Manchester United are concretely interested in Diomande and suggested that they could attempt to sign him in January. Sky had stated that he could be available for €60m-€70m, downplaying claims of a €100m valuation. However, TEAMtalk claims that a source close to the Red Bull organisation has dismissed suggestions that Yan Diomande could be available for €60m, describing this as frankly laughable. The source stated that there was no price on Diomande and that any suggestion he could be available for around €60m was frankly laughable. The report adds that Leipzig are considering offering Diomande a new contract to deter the interest in him.
