Sky: Club now plotting contract improvement for ‘outstanding’ star to fend off Man Utd interest this summer
Mar 31 2026 13:10 · By onefootball.com · 21 Reads
RB Leipzig are looking to reward Yan Diomande’s ‘outstanding’ form with a contract adjustment.
It comes amid concrete Manchester United interest in the starlet, which is worrying Leipzig chiefs as they look to keep hold of him beyond just his maiden season.

Sky Sports reporter Philipp Hinze has revealed that the 19-year-old is poised to receive a salary increase after he has returned a hugely impressive 10 goals and seven assists in his first 26 Bundesliga appearances.
No release clause will be included in the new deal, and while Leipzig will do their utmost to convince Diomand to stay put , they have conceded behind the scenes that he isn’t ‘unsellable’.
As a result, they will demand upwards of €100 million (£86.8m) to sanction his exit just 12 months after his arrival at the Red Bull Arena.

The player’s stance is currently unconfirmed, though he’ll be well aware that his tremendous displays have led to him becoming one of the hottest prospects on the market ahead of the summer window.

United shortlisting Diomande shows that they’re preparing for three major attacking departures at the end of the season, with Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho all ready to draw the curtains on their Red Devils tenures.
The latter will be leaving as a free agent when his contract expires in June, while Rashford and Hojlund are expected to join Barcelona and Napoli, respectively, when their loans come to an end.
Bolstering the forward department isn’t seen as high of a priority as the midfield is, but it goes without saying that reinforcements will be vital when the trio leave, particularly because United will be hoping to have Champions League football to account for in 2026/2027, making depth across the squad essential.
