Manchester City also enters the race with a €100 million offer for Yan Diomandé

According to insider Florian Plettenberg, the Citizens have already verbally informed Leipzig that they are willing to put €100 million on the table for the 19-year-old Ivorian winger.

The source notes that no official offer has been submitted yet, but talks with the German club's management are intensifying. Manchester City wants to outpace Liverpool and Real Madrid. Both clubs have already tabled bids of around €100 million, which Leipzig has rejected.

PSG, which has a verbal agreement with the player, has yet to reach common ground with the German side.

At just 19, Diomandé has become one of the hottest targets of the transfer window. The battle is set to be fierce between Liverpool, PSG, Madrid, and now Manchester City.
