Body photo: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Paris, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are paying attention to Leipzig star Diomande

According to the German media "Sports Bild", RB Leipzig's new striker Jan Diomande has attracted the attention of many European giants, including teams from Spain, England and France.

Jan Diomande is a rising star in the Bundesliga this season. The wide player has scored three goals and sent three assists in the last three games. No other player in the league dribbles as frequently as he does, and no player has as high a success rate as he does. In terms of speed, only Union Berlin's Oliver Burke (36.01 km/h) was slightly faster than him (35.98 km/h).

According to "Sports Bild", scouts from European giants have often sat in the stands of Leipzig to watch his games live, and more people have asked for Diomande's videos to evaluate the new star. Diomande is now on a roster that already features Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.

The unanimous view of all parties is that Diomande is one of the biggest talented players in Europe. Everyone agrees that he has the ability to achieve a career similar to Kylian Mbappe or Dembélé in this position. Although his contract does not expire until 2030, it is increasingly likely that at least one top club will try to sign him next summer.

Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schaefer told "Sports Bild": "If this happens, it will once again prove that our work is effective. However, we are firmly based on the existing lineup to plan for the development after the summer, and have always emphasized our intention to build a new core team after reorganization. This core team is currently taking shape and will bring us great satisfaction."

In fact, Leipzig has no plans to sell this young player quickly. Previously, Leipzig had rumors of high-priced transfers when selling Sheshko and Gvadiol. Judging from the current situation, Leipzig has complete control over Diomande's transfer issue. The attacker has no release clause in his contract.

But Leipzig don't want to force the genius to stay, they want to convince him. Head coach Ole Werner is working meticulously to promote Diomande's development, with the club believing his greatest potential lies in his decision-making, physicality, tactical understanding and consistency near and in the penalty area. However, his learning curve and rate of improvement have been incredibly rapid.

Schaefer said: "Diomande has adapted very quickly to the Bundesliga. Especially considering that he is still in the first year of his career and is very young. He is on the right path but, like all other players, still has a lot of development potential. We are very excited to explore this potential together in the next few years." When Diomande made his first start for Leganes against Barcelona in April, Leipzig staff went to the stadium to watch, almost the only scouts there, and were immediately smitten with him.

After that, Leipzig continued to maintain interest and watched every game he played live. When it became clear that Diomande wanted a move in the summer and more and more clubs began to pay attention to him, Leipzig had the upper hand and eventually won the player's signature thanks to the early contacts they established. Since there was a release clause of 20 million euros in the player's contract at the time, the transfer was just a formality issue between the two clubs.

What is certain is that this amount will no longer be enough for his next transfer. Leipzig hopes to one day use him to break the 100 million euro transfer fee mark for the first time. At present, Gvadiol's transfer fee of 90 million euros is still Leipzig's highest sales record.
