Paris Saint-Germain appears to be moving swiftly to secure the services of Yan Diomandé, with the transfer potentially being concluded sooner than anticipated. The Ivorian winger, currently shining for his country at the World Cup, has reportedly chosen the Parisian club over Liverpool, despite the English side having already submitted two offers exceeding €100 million to RB Leipzig.
Psg confident in accelerating talks
Leveraging the player’s preference, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is said to be using his strong relationship with RB Leipzig’s supervisory board chairman Oliver Mintzlaff to speed up negotiations. Sources close to the club indicate that the deal could be finalized before that of Maghnes Akliouche, who was previously considered the frontrunner for PSG’s first summer signing. An official announcement might come within days.
Diomandé focused on world cup amidst transfer buzz
In the meantime, Diomandé remains focused on the World Cup, where Côte d’Ivoire is set to face Norway in the Round of 16. When asked about his future, he stated, “My future? I have a team that handles that. I try to stay as focused as possible. I’ve loved PSG since I was a kid. My father was a PSG supporter. But I’m not projecting into the future; I’m concentrating on the World Cup. We’ll see what happens afterward.”
