RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande has become one of football’s fastest-rising young talents, drawing strong interest from major clubs including Liverpool and Tottenham ahead of 2026.
Just 18 months ago he was playing in Florida’s Central Premier Division with DME Academy. After a brief spell at Leganes, Leipzig signed him in July by triggering his €20m release clause — a move Red Bull scouts pushed for after being stunned by his technical ability.
Originally viewed as a long-term project, Diomande has exceeded all expectations. Some inside Leipzig now believe he could become a €100m player.
The 19-year-old’s rise has been electric. He has seven goals and four assists this season, and he hit a hat-trick in Leipzig’s 6–0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, with elite scouts watching.
Liverpool and Spurs are tracking him closely, while reports suggest at least 10 other major European clubs are also monitoring his progress.
