That’s in his first full season in the Bundesliga – a player Leipzig snapped up for just €20 million from Leganes last summer.Now speaking to Kicker (via Bullinews), he was asked whether he plans to stay at RB Leipzig for next season. Diomande was said to have given a clear “yes.”“I’m under contract in Leipzig and I enjoy playing here,” he added.However, the 19-year-old also went on to say that he wants to reach the “highest level possible”:“Everyone has ambitions, including me.

I am a Leipzig player. The media only sees me on the pitch, but the club helped me a lot with my family and my mom.”“The only thing I can do for them is to give everything on the pitch and this is what I’m trying to do every day.”It’s believed that £75 million is the maximum amount the Reds are willing to spend on Diomande, with RB Leipzig instead putting a gargantuan €100 million valuation on his head.
