Yan Diomandé, a 19-year-old Ivorian winger from RB Leipzig, has become one of the main targets in Real Madrid's summer transfer market due to the difficulty in signing Michael Olise. The white club is considering an operation around €100 million, although the German club maintains a demand of €120 million, while PSG, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal are also monitoring the forward's situation. 

Yan Diomandé, Real Madrid's Alternative to Michael Olise

Florentino Pérez's primary target remains Michael Olise, but Bayern Munich's refusal to negotiate his departure has forced Real Madrid to explore other options. Among them is Yan Diomandé, one of the most promising players in European football after his breakthrough in the Bundesliga. 

Diomandé had an impactful season with RB Leipzig, where he played 36 games, scored 13 goals, and provided 9 assists. His performance also continued in the World Cup with Ivory Coast, further increasing the interest of several European giants. 

Real Madrid is considering an investment close to €100 million, a figure that, however, still falls short of Leipzig's expectations. The German club values him at €120 million and has no intention of lowering its demands amidst strong competition for the player. 

In just one year, Diomandé's value has soared from 20 million to 120 / X

PSG, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal Maintain Pressure

The competition for Yan Diomandé goes beyond Real Madrid's interest. PSG, according to various reports, has made the most progress with the player by reaching a verbal agreement on personal terms, although there is still no deal with RB Leipzig. 

Liverpool has also tried to get ahead in the race. The English club submitted a proposal worth €100 million, but it was rejected by Leipzig, considering the amount insufficient. They later considered improving the offer, but the German club remained firm in their stance. 

Meanwhile, Arsenal inquired about the winger's situation, but for now, it is only an exploratory move. Manchester City is also among the clubs monitoring the development of the Ivorian international, although there has been no formal offer from the English champions.

Leipzig Stands Firm on Yan Diomandé

RB Leipzig is not in a rush to sell Yan Diomandé. The attacker has a long-term contract, and the German club's intention is to keep him for at least another season unless an entity meets the €120 million price tag to open the door to a transfer. 

The next step will depend on who decides to approach that figure. Real Madrid continues to explore alternatives after the deadlock on Michael Olise, while PSG, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal remain attentive to a market that could make Yan Diomandé one of the main figures of the summer.
