Manchester City are eager to explore a move for Liverpool and Real Madrid target Yan Diomande to add a new dimension to their frontline.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City are reportedly keen to add Yan Diomande to their front line ahead of next season. The Ivorian winger is one of the most in-demand wide attackers ahead of the summer, with Pep Guardiola’s side eager to move ahead in the race ahead of Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Yan Diomande is expected to set a huge transfer battle alight in the summer, as he could take his chances and make the move to a much bigger team. The youngster has been a sensational signing for RB Leipzig, and ever since his move there from Leganes, he has become one of the most talked-about wide attackers on the continent.
Diomande has amassed 11 goals and 8 assists across all competitions in his debut season, with a massive chunk of those contributions coming in the Bundesliga. The Ivory Coast international can play on both wings, which makes him even more valuable to top teams, who are eager to lure in tactically flexible players who are fluid going forward.
Liverpool are one of those prioritising a move for Yan Diomande, as they view him as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah. Michael Olise is another name high on their list, and given the difficulties in landing the French winger, the Merseyside outfit are expected to be in the mix for the RB Leipzig star.
Leipzig are aware of the interest in the market and are expected to demand at least €100 million from suitors for the winger. Real Madrid are also in the mix, but the price point might be an issue for them, as they may not want to invest as much for the young Ivorian attacker.
Will Manchester City chase Yan Diomande?
Diomande now has a new suitor in Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola is eager to bring the dynamic winger to drastically improve his frontline with an option he currently does not have. The signing of Antoine Semenyo, as well as the presence of Jeremy Doku, already makes the team formidable in the wide areas, and the addition of the €100 million-rated Bundesliga sensation could bring a new dimension.
Savinho could depart in the summer, which would free up space for a new winger in the team, as Manchester City also boast the financial muscle to get a deal in place. The idea of adding someone like Yan Diomande would bring unpredictability to this Manchester City attack, although they must get ahead of their competition to take the lead in this chase.
