19-year-old Diomande's market value surged by 73.5 million euros this season, Leipzig sets price at 100 million, Liverpool shows interest.

Who is the most outstanding player in Europe's top leagues this season? That is Leipzig's 19-year-old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande. According to the latest report from German Sky Sports journalist Plattenberg, Liverpool is currently closely monitoring Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, viewing him as Salah's successor. Leipzig is busy renewing Yan Diomande's contract, significantly increasing his salary, with the new agreement not including a release clause. Leipzig hopes Yan Diomande will stay, but if a 100 million euro offer is received, Leipzig would consider selling him, as this could yield a profit of 80 million euros in just one season. Liverpool is currently the most interested club in Yan Diomande, because Salah will leave after this season, Gakpo's ability is insufficient, Liverpool needs reinforcement on both wings, and Yan Diomande can play on both sides.

Yan Diomande joined Leipzig from Leganes in the summer window of 2025 for a transfer fee of 20 million euros, when the player's market value was only 1.5 million euros, meaning Leipzig signed this young talent at a premium of 13.3 times.

Currently 19-year-old Yan Diomande, height 1.80 meters, right-footed player, can play as left winger or right winger, current contract until 2030, annual salary only 750,000 euros, still pre-tax. In his first season with Leipzig, Yan Diomande has already delivered impressive stats of 11 goals and 7 assists in 29 matches. Yan Diomande's excellent performance at Leipzig has boosted his market value from 1.5 million euros to 75 million euros, rising by 73.5 million euros in less than a season, making him the player with the highest market value increase in Europe's top leagues this season.
