US EditionIvory Coast teen Yan Diomande unfazed by 100-million transfer speculation
Yan Diomande, valued at €100 million by some clubs, aims to defend the Africa Cup of Nations title and develop at RB Leipzig before considering transfers.
- Amid transfer links, Yan Diomande told AP he is focused on helping Ivory Coast in Saturday's Africa Cup quarterfinal and is in no hurry to leave RB Leipzig.
- Leipzig signed Diomande from Leganés after one season with 10 La Liga appearances including a debut against Real Madrid, and he has six goals and three assists in 14 Bundesliga appearances plus three goals in eight Ivory Coast appearances.
- Speaking to The Associated Press in Marrakech, Yan Diomande said winning this competition is his biggest dream and he wants to return to Leipzig to play and progress, adding he is happy there and focused on his club responsibilities.
- Leipzig are expected to resist offers because the club is financially healthy after big-money sales in recent years and Diomande plays with a protective mask after breaking his nose in November.
- Looking beyond AFCON, Diomande scored twice in World Cup qualifying and anticipates a return to the United States, saying Ivory Coast team mentality is ready and confident for tougher tests.
