Breakout Bundesliga winger reveals Liverpool transfer ‘dream’: “I want to play at Anfield”

RB Leipzig’s breakout winger Yan Diomande has openly admitted that playing for Liverpool is his “dream,” intensifying speculation over a future move to Anfield. In a recent live Q&A, the 19-year-old Ivorian revealed he is a lifelong Liverpool supporter and spoke emotionally about his ambition to wear the red shirt, stressing that it is also his father’s dream to see him play for the club.

Diomande has been one of the Bundesliga’s standout young attackers this season, quickly emerging as a key figure for Leipzig after joining the club in 2025. His pace, direct dribbling and eye for goal have drawn attention across Europe, with double figures for goals and contributions in both league and cup competitions underlining his rapid development in Germany. That form has reportedly put him on the radar of several elite clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, while Leipzig are expected to demand a very high fee if they ever agree to sell.

The winger’s comments, however, made clear where his heart lies. Describing himself as a “big Liverpool fan,” Diomande singled out Anfield as the stadium he most wants to experience as a home player, not just a visitor. For Liverpool, his public admiration strengthens the narrative that he could be a long-term heir to one of their wide attacking roles, fitting the club’s preference for hungry, ambitious talents who already feel an emotional connection to the shirt.

Despite the romantic appeal of the story, the article stresses that any transfer is far from straightforward. Leipzig are in a strong negotiating position, competition from other major clubs is intense, and there is no indication of an imminent bid. Still, Diomande’s candid Q&A has given Liverpool supporters fresh reason to follow his progress closely, knowing that the player himself views a move to Anfield as the ultimate goal in his career.
