FC Bayern continue to keep tabs on attacking star Yan Diomande, although the Munich club are not currently in the best position to win the Leipzig player
Yan Diomande remains one of the most exciting names on the wish lists of numerous top European clubs, with FC Bayern continuing to keep a close eye on the development of the 19-year-old attacking player from RB Leipzig
As transfer expert Ben Jacobs explained in an interview with the Liverpool portal Born ’n Red, Munich are still among the interested parties, although Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain are currently said to be ahead of the pack
The reason for this is apparently less to do with the financial framework and more to do with the player’s planned role
„Yan Diomande is either attracted to Liverpool or PSG,“ explained Jacobs
According to this, both clubs see the Ivorian mainly in his favorite position on the right wing, and that is precisely where Diomande apparently feels most comfortable
Bayern plan to play Diomande on the left wing
At FC Bayern, on the other hand, the considerations are apparently different
Bayern had long focused on Anthony Gordon, but he is now moving to FC Barcelona. „Bayern are still looking for reinforcements,“ explained Jacobs
However, Bayern are planning Diomande primarily for the left flank, a role that clearly appeals less to the player
„The difference, however, is that Bayern and Man United are telling Diomande to play on the left wing,“ said Jacobs
This is precisely why Liverpool and PSG are currently said to be the favorites in the race for the attacking talent
„Liverpool and PSG, on the other hand, see Diomande primarily as a right winger. The player himself clearly prefers to play on the right, which is why Liverpool and PSG are the favorites,“ explained the transfer expert
Bayern continue to monitor developments
Nevertheless, Diomande apparently remains an exciting topic at Säbener Straße
TEAMtalk recently reported that Bayern are keeping a close eye on the Leipzig player
Diomande is seen as a player whose pace, dynamism and versatility would be an excellent fit for the record champions‘ requirements profile. However, RB Leipzig are reportedly demanding a transfer fee of around 100 million euros, which is likely to be far too expensive for FCB
In addition, Liverpool currently have the best arguments in their bid for the Ivorian
Nevertheless, Bayern are keeping a close eye on Diomande’s development – even if the competition may currently have the better cards in the transfer poker.
