Yan Diomande Transfer from RB Leipzig to Tottenham Hotspur
According to Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports, neither Tottenham nor Manchester United plan to bid for Yan Diomande in the final days of the winter window. It is believed that clubs are currently not prepared to make an offer due to the high asking price. The €100m / £87m price is causing interested clubs to consider Diomande as more of a summer target. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Tottenham attempted an unsuccessful move for the player earlier this month; while a move was explored, no official bid was made. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also monitoring him.
Oliver Mintzlaff, the managing director of Red Bulls’ football clubs, warned suitors interested in RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande that they would have to pay €100 million (£87.2 million, $117.2 million) for the player. Bids of €90 million have been turned down. Mintzlaff told Sky Sport Germany that Diomande will remain at the club next season, even if an offer of €80 million or €90 million is made. Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schäfer commented that no potential suitor has made significant progress. According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur is one of the interested clubs, and it is stated that there appears to be no chance of them acquiring the player.
Red Bull’s managing director, Oliver Mintzlaff, insisted that a bid of €90m / £78m will not convince Leipzig to sell Yan Diomande in 2026, and that the winger is fully expected to remain for the 2026/27 campaign.
RedBull director Oliver Mintzlaff told Sky that one cannot let Yan Diomande go after just one year, but also stated that other top clubs exist and that the club has to generate revenue.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham attempted to sign RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande during the January transfer window and made an approach, but the German club rejected them. The Bundesliga club communicated that Diomande is not for sale in January, as Leipzig want the player to remain for this season. Tottenham wanted to sign him immediately but accepted that a mid-season deal is not possible.

According to journalist Alan Nixon on Patreon, Tottenham are ready to make their interest in Yan Diomande more concrete by making a significant offer and are willing to outbid any offer for the player should a bidding war occur. Nixon wrote that Tottenham are competing with Liverpool for the Red Bull Leipzig winger and are keen to spend in this window, potentially topping any offer for the 19-year-old from Ivory Coast. He added that a bidding war may take the deal over £40 million and that Tottenham are backing Thomas Frank. Separately, TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported that Tottenham were the first Premier League club to send scouts to watch Yan Diomande.
Tottenham Hotspur want Yan Diomande, but RB Leipzig do not intend to sell him this month and insist that a bid of €120 million might be necessary to sign him before the end of the January transfer window. According to TEAMtalk, it will cost a minimum of €120m for any interested club to sign him before the end of January. Reports have suggested that a fee of €100m will be required to sign him this summer.

Fabrizio Romano revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of several teams with a strong interest in RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande. According to Romano, a fee of €60-70m (£52-61m) will be insufficient, and a higher amount will be required. It is reported that Leipzig view Diomande as one of the world's most promising talents and will require a payment of €100m (£87m) for his sale. Romano's opinion is that a transfer is more probable in the summer than in January.

The same source indicates the player's price would not be set at 100 million euros, as RB Leipzig would ask for between 60 and 70 million euros.

According to Team Talk, Tottenham are actively assessing Yan Diomande as a top target and are particularly excited about him. The interest in Diomande is genuine, but there is a realisation that signing him will require patience. Sources believe he will be unavailable for transfer in January.
