The 19-year-old has only one full senior season behind him, but his rapid rise has put him firmly on the radar of top European clubs, including Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.Diomande’s numbers this season have been particularly impressive. No player in the Bundesliga completed more dribbles than his 118.This underlines his ability to beat opponents in advanced areas in a league featuring talents such as Michael Olise, Luis Díaz, Karim Adeyemi, and other reported targets like Bazoumana Toure.Diomande enjoyed a standout debut season in Germany, scoring 13 goals and providing 10 assists in 36 appearances for RB Leipzig.The Ivory Coast winger produced a decisive late-season surge, registering eight goal contributions in 10 matches between February and April, helping Leipzig secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League.Elsewhere, FC Porto winger Oskar Pietuszewski, who only joined from Jagiellonia Białystok in January, has also been linked with Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.The 18-year-old already has a reported £52m release clause and is regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting emerging wide forwards.FC Porto have officially extended the contract of Oskar Pietuszewski by a further two seasons, with the winger now tied to the club until 2031.Pietuszewski, who had only signed a new deal in January running until 2029, has now agreed fresh terms shortly after reaching adulthood, further committing his long-term future to the Portuguese champions.Born in Białystok, Pietuszewski developed at Jagiellonia Białystok and made his professional debut at just 16 in a Europa League qualifier against AFC Ajax.After winning the Polish Super Cup, he made an immediate impact following his move to Porto, recording 16 appearances in the second half of the season, scoring three goals and providing four assists.He also delivered a series of standout performances, including scoring in three consecutive league matches during his breakthrough spell in Portugal.
