Yan Diomande, a 19-year-old forward for RB Leipzig (under contract until 2030) and the Ivory Coast national team, has been heavily linked to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks. However, Bild now reports that the German club intends to keep him for another season, even if a sale is finalized this summer.
“According to Bild, the internal plan is for Diomande to remain at Leipzig until the end of the season. A transfer exceeding €100 million remains possible, but only if it includes a loan back to Leipzig. This ensures Diomande will play for Leipzig this season.”
It is certainly plausible; this wouldn’t be the first time such an agreement has been reached. It allows a club to secure a future signing while Leipzig retains Diomande’s services as he continues his development. That said, nothing is certain yet. It remains just a rumor—nothing concrete. Furthermore, PSG’s interest has not been officially confirmed. There is also the question of how a delayed transfer might impact other recruitment plans this summer; the situation is not necessarily straightforward. We will have to wait for more definitive news.
