🚨 BREAKING: RB Leipzig turn down €100m proposal received from Liverpool for Yan Diomandé. RB Leipzig want more than €10

What happened: RB Leipzig have turned down a €100m proposal from Liverpool for winger Yan Diomandé, according to Fabrizio Romano. Leipzig are seeking more than €100m and would prefer to keep the player, with €120m cited as a potential figure. The club expects PSG and other suitors to enter the race.

Why it matters: Diomandé has become one of the summer's most contested targets, and Leipzig's resistance signals confidence in his value following strong World Cup performances. For Liverpool, the rejection complicates a pursuit they had been driving, and the prospect of PSG joining raises the ceiling on any eventual fee. A €120m deal would rank among the biggest outlays for a winger in the window.

By the numbers: Liverpool's reported package approached €100m before being rejected; Leipzig are now targeting €120m, with valuations cited up to €120–130m in surrounding reports. PSG and additional clubs are expected to enter the bidding.

What to watch: Watch whether Liverpool return with an improved offer near €120m or whether PSG's entry sparks a bidding war that pushes the fee higher.
