Diomande: "I don't know where I'll play next season, my focus is on the World Cup"
Ivory Coast international Yan Diomande remains uncertain about his club future beyond the World Cup, stating his focus is solely on his performance at the tournament rather than his next team. The 19-year-old forward is a transfer target for both Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. Last week, the Reds reportedly tabled a €100 million bid for his signature, which his current club, RB Leipzig, rejected. A new offer from the Merseyside club is anticipated soon.
Diomande has already made an impact at the World Cup, registering an assist in the 2-0 victory over Curaçao, setting up Nicolas Pepe's opening goal and helping the "Elephants" secure a spot in the knockout stages.
"No, I don't know where I'll be playing next season. I'll think about my future after the World Cup. I'm trying to put all my energy into it and see what happens next, but I can't say anything about that now," Diomande told Sky Sports.
The young striker has tallied 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 appearances for RB Leipzig since joining the team from Spanish side Leganes.
