Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has kicked off fresh talk about Yan Diomande’s next move. Shared via @iMiaSanMia, the report confirmed that Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Tottenham have all taken steps toward a summer deal. Paris Saint-Germain are also lurking in the wings and keeping a close eye on things.
Yan Diomande: The Three-Way Premier League & Bayern Battle For Leipzig’s Ivorian Sensation
Romano makes it clear that these clubs are just in the scouting and monitoring phase for now. No one has submitted an official bid or started formal talks yet. Still, the report labels Diomande as one to watch. It looks like things will really heat up once the summer window opens. The calibre of clubs involved shows just how fast he has climbed the ladder since landing in Germany.
A Meteoric Rise & The Fight for Europe’s Hottest Winger
At only 19, Yan Diomande has gone from a one for the future to one of the Bundesliga’s scariest attackers. The Ivorian international has set German football alight since his move from Leganés to RB Leipzig in July 2025. His numbers for this 2025/26 season show exactly why he’s a problem for defenders.
He has notched 7 goals and 5 assists in 19 league games as of February 8, 2026. That brilliant hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt in December made him a household name. Plus, his recent AFCON run with the Ivory Coast proved he can handle the pressure on the big stage.
Manchester United’s interest shows they want to add some serious young energy to their front line. The Red Devils are looking for a long-term fix on the wings. Diomande fits that mould perfectly. He’s a direct, high-output forward who uses raw pace and skill to tear defences apart.
Tottenham and Bayern have great projects on the table, but United’s desperate need for a regular starter on the right might give them the upper hand. Players who can score and create from out wide don’t come around often. Leipzig will surely hold out for a massive fee. However, for a teenager who is basically reinventing his position, the money makes sense. The summer scramble for his signature is going to be wild.
