Leipzig name their price for teen star Diomande
FOOTBALL
RB LEIPZIG have reportedly set their asking price for teenage sensation Yan Diomande amid strong interest from the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.
The 19-year-old winger has established himself as one of the most exciting attacking talents in Germany.
According to talkSPORT, Leipzig have slapped an £80million asking price on Diomande – but this figure could drop should Ole Werner’s men fail to book a spot in next season’s Champions League.

‘There’s no balance. We have to go to win the game. Atletico showed their quality in the first leg. I felt we were ruthless when we needed to be. We’re preparing to go and win the game. We have to give absolutely everything.’ Boss Marc Skinner says Manchester United won’t play it safe against Atletico Madrid in tonight’s home leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final play-off, despite leading 3-0 from the first match in Spain
