Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool Make Phone Calls to Discuss £84m Transfer Target

Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are locked in a fierce transfer battle for a highly sought-after winger from RB Leipzig, with the German club valuing the 19-year-old talent at around €80-100 million (£84m).[1][4]



Yan Diomande has emerged as Arsenal's priority target for the summer window, as the Gunners seek to bolster their flanks with a versatile forward capable of playing across the front three. The north London club views him as a potential key player under the right guidance, especially amid their push for major trophies.[1]

Chelsea and Liverpool have also entered the fray, making inquiries and phone calls to discuss a potential deal. Both clubs are eager to add unpredictability in the wide areas, with Diomande's impressive form—seven goals and four assists this season—making him an attractive prospect. Reports suggest his numbers could soar alongside elite teammates in the Premier League, unlocking his true potential.[1]

The competition intensifies with interest from Manchester City and even Manchester United, turning this into one of the hottest transfer sagas ahead of the window. RB Leipzig is reportedly holding firm on their valuation, equivalent to €100 million, fueled by the player's stellar output of 22 goals and 12 assists in recent performances that have caught Europe's attention.[1][4]

A Bundesliga club is said to be strategically "pitting" Chelsea and Liverpool against each other to drive up the price for their star asset, while Arsenal's proactive approach positions them as frontrunners.[3] At just 19, Diomande represents a long-term investment for whichever suitor lands him, promising excitement at the highest level.[1]
