Yan Diomande revealed he expects to leave RB Leipzig this summer as rumours surrounding his exit continue to grow.

The teenager has gained reported interest from European giants Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool after an impressive season with Leipzig.

Diomande directly contributed to 20 goals (12 goals, eight assists) in 33 Bundesliga games in 2025-26, a tally bettered only by Harry Kane (41), Michael Olise (34), Luis Diaz (29), Deniz Undav (25) and Christoph Baumgartner (21).

The winger, however, completed the most dribbles (118 – 50 more than any other player) and take-on-ending carries (104 – 29 more than any other player).

Leipzig managing director Marcel Schafer previously stated the club intend to keep Diomande for at least another season, but the forward has other plans.

"First of all, like I said, my dream is playing for my country and making history with my country," said Diomande.

"I don't have Instagram anymore, I don't have TikTok, so I can't see anything but I expect to leave [RB Leipzig] of course.

"I have an agent who's going to manage the rest, but for me the most important thing right now is focusing on the World Cup with my country and making history with them."

Diomande's profile has been boosted at the 2026 World Cup after helping Ivory Coast reach the knockout rounds.

Diomande became only the second African player on record (from 1966) to complete 10+ dribbles (10) and create 10+ chances (10) in a single World Cup group stage, after South Africa's Quinton Fortune in 2002.
