The highly-rated teenage sensation has for the first time spoken about his future with the Roten Bullen after heavily linked with a move way from the Red Bull Arena to interested admirers this summer
lvory Coast international Yan Diomande has said he feels motivated to see people linking him to European giants Chelsea or Real Madrid to continue plying his football trade with them, with potential suitors told ''you never know what might happen after the World Cup'' in addressing his future with RB Leipzip.
With his red-hot form so far this term, the DME Academy product has become the most sought-after talent among Europe's leading elite division clubs, with French titans PSG, Premier League superpowers duo Manchester Utd and Livepool, and Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich - all currently expressing concrete interest in his services next season.
As speculation over his transfer switch rages on, the 19-year-old sensational winger is not ruling out any potential exit although he remains committed to his side given the trust they reposed in him for securing his signature in a deal worth €20 million from Spanish outfit CD Leganés during the summer of 2025.
Speaking in an interview, the promising youngster has said of his future with RBL to The Athletic: ''Next up is the World Cup. After that, you never know what might happen. Imagine people saying you're going to Chelsea or Real Madrid to do this job. Then you're happy and motivated to give even more.''
He added: ''Young players like me experience a lot of things, but nobody except the club knows about them. They've done a lot for me, so I'm grateful, and all I can do is help them on the pitch. It's a great motivation to repay what they've invested in me – 20 million euros is a big risk."
Diomande, who has been on fire this season, has racked up 13 goals and assisted 9 in 35 appearances for RB Leipziq across all contests in this current 2025-26 campaign.
He is currently boasting of 9 caps with the lvory Coast national football team on the international stage, with 3 goals to his name in his international football career so far. With his tip-top form at club level, he looks set to head to the 2026 World Cup with the Elephants in the USA, Canada and Mexico in June.
