Yan Diomande could be set for a move to the English Premier League, according to reports, though the highly-rated winger has garnered interest from all over the continent.
The 19-year-old remains under contract with RB Leipzig until June 2030, with the Bundesliga club valuing him at around £90m.
Sky Sports say that ‘Manchester United are one of the clubs monitoring’ the player, who is currently away at AFCON with the Ivory Coast.
Manager Ruben Amorim’s side faces competition from the continent as Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain remain interested in Diomande. Alongside Manchester United’s Amad Diallo, Diomade has started in both of the Ivory Coast’s AFCON matches so far.
Reports suggest that a deal is likely to cost in the region of £50-£60m, contrary to RB Leipzig’s estimated valuation.
The winger has netted six goals and assisted three times in 14 Bundesliga matches, since signing from Spanish La Liga 2 side Leganes for 20m euros, in the summer.
Will Yan Diomande join Manchester United?
Sky Sports suggest that Leipzig’s pragmatic approach to transfer business could see Diomande move despite arriving less than six months ago.
According to BBC Sport, Diomande is also of interest to Tottenham, who are likely to need a replacement for Brennan Johnson, who seems certain to move on from North London.
United remain unsure about progressing their search for another winger, but may accelerate a deal to prevent their target moving elsewhere.
The news comes after the revelation that Antoine Semenyo seems set for a move to the other side of Manchester, to play for manager Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side, despite interest from United and other Premier League clubs.
A move to Old Trafford would see him link up with international teammate Amad, as well as fellow African sensation Bryan Mbeumo, who joined United from Brentford in the summer.
