After his running session on the sidelines of the floodlit match against Union Berlin, Oliver Mintzlaff was full of praise for the powerful performance of Leipzig's RB professionals. He personally clapped off Yan Diomande and at the same time put his foot down with the Ivorian. "If I were managing director of sport, I wouldn't sell this young player, who has only been with us for less than a full season. No matter what price is being asked," said the Red Bull managing director on pay-TV channel Sky after the 3-1 win against Berlin. Even the price tag of 100 million euros doesn't really impress the chairman of the Bundesliga club's supervisory board.
"I believe that he is a player who can continue to develop because he is of course still very young. And he can certainly become even more expensive," Mintzlaff emphasized in view of his contract, which runs until the summer of 2030. He is therefore "completely relaxed" about the matter.
