MU explores Diomande transfer deal.

Manchester United held a private meeting with Yan Diomande's agent to explore the possibility of signing the young talent currently playing for RB Leipzig in the summer of 2026.

MU are interested in Diomande (in white shirt).

According to Sky Sports , Manchester United have held private talks with the player's representatives. However, the hurdle lies in the price and the complex legal issues behind the deal.

Diomande joined Roc Nation Sports, but Maxidel Management still retains control over the player's short-term future, including a separate agreement regarding transfer negotiations.

Notably, Maxidel holds the player's image rights until 2031. If violated, the prospective signing would have to pay Maxidel €7 million and Diomande €5 million in compensation. Given the legal uncertainty, interested clubs are facing difficulties in finalizing the deal.

Furthermore, the key factor remains the transfer fee. Leipzig are reportedly demanding up to 100 million euros for the player who arrived from Leganes for just 20 million euros last summer.

Diomande has had an impressive start in the Bundesliga with 8 goals and 6 assists in 22 matches. The 19-year-old plays well on both wings. On average, he completes 3.4 dribbles, wins 5.4 duels, and recovers the ball 4.1 times per game.

Although Manchester United need to strengthen their attack, the €100 million price tag for a player who has only shone for half a season might make them reconsider. Their priority is a defensive midfielder, rather than splashing out on an expensive and legally risky deal like Diomande.
