Manchester City are preparing a massive €100 million bid for RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande as they look to beat Real Madrid to the signature of one of Europe’s most coveted young attackers.
Manchester City Ready to Pay €100 Million for Yan Diomande
According to Florian Plettenberg, City have verbally indicated their willingness to table a €100 million offer for the 20-year-old forward.
While an official bid has not yet been submitted, discussions between the Premier League champions and Leipzig have already taken place as City explore the conditions of a potential transfer.
Diomande has taken European football by storm after an outstanding debut campaign in Germany.
The versatile attacker registered 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions for Leipzig.
He carried that scintillating form into the World Cup, delivering impressive performances on the global stage.
His lethal blend of pace, creativity, and composure in the final third has made him a target for Europe’s elite clubs.
Real Madrid have already tested Leipzig’s resolve with an opening package worth €90 million plus €10 million in add-ons.
The Bundesliga side immediately rejected the proposal, making it abundantly clear they would only consider selling their prized asset for an exceptional fee.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with the attacker in recent months, but reports suggest the French champions have yet to submit a formal offer.
Los Blancos view Diomande as an option to strengthen their right flank as part of their long-term project.
City harbour similar ambitions for the teenager, who could push for a starting spot on either flank for the Premier League giants.
City officials regard Diomande as a cornerstone of their next generation.
Leipzig, however, remain in a strong negotiating position. The German club face no immediate pressure to sell and have already demonstrated their willingness to reject massive offers from some of the biggest clubs in world football.
With Real Madrid’s proposal already rebuffed, City’s €100 million offer may still not be enough to test Leipzig’s resolve.
The race for Diomande is intensifying as Europe’s top clubs compete for his signature, and Manchester City are determined to win the battle for one of the most exciting young talents in world football.
