Manchester United ‘Can Afford’ €100m Yan Diomande, Confirms Bundesliga Insider

Manchester United have both the interest and the financial muscle to meet RB Leipzig’s €100 million (£87.1 million) valuation of teenage forward Yan Diomackage, according to German football expert Christian Falk. Writing in his CF Bayern Insider column, Falk stated that United are among a trio of Premier League heavyweights tracking the 19-year-old Ivory Coast international. “I heard that Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool are all interested,” he revealed. Bayern Munich are also monitoring the winger, yet Falk notes that the Bundesliga champions would struggle to meet the asking price and are content with Luis Diaz’s form on the left flank.

Diomande’s stock has risen sharply after eight goals and six assists in 23 matches this season, performances that have helped Leipzig set the 100-million-euro marker laid down by club chief Oliver. Mintzlareff. United, who are expected to part company with Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho over the coming transfer windows, have already reshaped their attack by sanctioning the sales of Anteny and Alejandro Garnacho at the start of the 2025/2026 campaign. Despite the arrival of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, reinforcements are viewed as essential, particularly if Champions League qualification is secured.

The prospect of reuniting with compatriot Amad Diallo, with whom Diomande shared African Cup of Nations duty in January, could add further appeal to a potential move to Old Trafford.
