FC Barcelona continue exploring options to bolster their left wing, keeping alternatives open despite potentially signing Marcus Rashford permanently. Reports name RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomandé as a key target, cited for his speed and former La Liga stint with Leganés. However, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have surged ahead, opening advanced talks with Leipzig regarding a potential deal. A winter move seems possible, yet Leipzig’s financial expectations make this difficult for Barcelona.
The German side demands a fee surpassing the €90 million Manchester City previously paid for Joško Gvardiol. This would establish a new club record, drastically exceeding the €20 million invested just last summer. Consequently, the Premier League clubs' superior spending power grants them a very clear advantage.
Young Diomandé currently justifies the hype with solid statistics, recording four goals and four assists across 14 matches this season, including highly productive performances in both the Bundesliga and the German Cup.
