Liverpool's 2026 World Cup star has spoken out, not ruling out a move to the Premier League despite other clubs waiting to compete for him.
On 16 June 2026 GMT+7, Yan Diomande, the 19-year-old winger and standout player for Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup, spoke about his future after helping his team secure a 1-0 victory over Ecuador in their opening Group E match.
Yan Diomande played the full 90 minutes for Ivory Coast, impressing with his dribbling and causing disruption in Ecuador's defense, creating several goal-scoring opportunities for teammates before securing the first three points and placing second in Group E behind Germany.
Yan Diomande has been linked with a summer transfer away from RB Leipzig, attracting interest from English Premier League giants Liverpool and French Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain, the two-time consecutive UEFA Champions League winners.
Previously, Diomande revealed before the 2026 World Cup that he has been a passionate PSG fan since childhood, following the team alongside his father. Additionally, reports from the well-known football outlet Foot Mercato indicated he had agreed to move to France.
However, following Ivory Coast's opening World Cup match, Diomande himself addressed the possibility of joining the English Premier League, saying, "The Premier League? I am a player for RB Leipzig, so why couldn't it happen? But my agent is handling the matter, and I am focused on the World Cup."
Meanwhile, Liverpool reportedly is pushing hard to sign Yan Diomande, making him their top target to replace Mohamed Salah, who has announced his departure from Anfield after nine years with the club.
