The 19-year-old sensation reveals his dream move to the Reds, but Liverpool faces a €120m battle with Bayern Munich and PSG.
Liverpool’s pursuit of the next generation of talent has led them to Germany, where 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande is taking the Bundesliga by storm. While the player has openly declared his love for the Merseyside club, the path to Anfield will not be cheap.
The £100m Valuation According to reports from TEAMtalk, RB Leipzig has no intention of letting their prize asset go for a bargain. The German club has set a valuation of approximately €120 million (£100m / R$ 751.8m).
Diomande has been in clinical form this season, racking up seven goals and three assists in 17 appearances. His ability to influence games at such a young age has also drawn concrete interest from Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Tottenham, and PSG. In fact, Tottenham reportedly had a bid rejected in recent weeks as Leipzig holds out for their full valuation.
A Dream for the Diomande Family Unlike many transfer sagas, the player’s preference is crystal clear. Diomande recently spoke about his emotional connection to the club:
“I want to play at Anfield; I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a big fan,” the striker revealed. “My father’s dream is to see me play for the Reds.”

Summer Move Most Likely While Liverpool fans might hope for a January arrival, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggests that a mid-season move is unlikely. RB Leipzig is in a strong financial position following successful recent windows and is under no pressure to sell their key players before the summer.
With Mohamed Salah’s long-term future often a topic of discussion, Diomande represents a high-profile, high-investment option to lead Liverpool’s attack for the next decade.
