Reports: Real Madrid Makes an Offer to Leipzig for Diomande

Diomande Speaks Clearly

Diomande is reportedly already in agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. The Champions League winner has apparently negotiated a contract through 2031 with the forward’s representatives. However, the French club has not yet reached an agreement with Leipzig.

Furthermore, RB representatives have repeatedly emphasized in the past that they want to keep Diomande in Leipzig. Both sporting director Marcel Schäfer and supervisory board chairman Oliver Mintzlaff have spoken out in favor of this. Rather than extending the contract—which runs through 2030 and contains no buyout clause—the plan was to renew it under improved terms, they said. During the World Cup in the U.S., however, Diomande put pressure on his club, stating, “I naturally assume that I will be leaving the club.”

Diomande was one of the major breakthrough players of the past Bundesliga season. In 33 league appearances for Leipzig, the teenager scored twelve goals and set up nine more. Leipzig will once again compete in the Champions League next season, which the club sees as a key reason for Diomande to stay.
