Indeed, the Reds are reportedly taking a look at him and Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola as potential targets.Diomande has now been asked about the interest coming from Liverpool and other clubs, with the winger taking the rumors in his stride."You gonna be happy and motivate to do more," Diomande told reporters (via GOAL)."I don't really think about this kind of thing because I'm trying to be focused on the pitch and because my job is playing football so [his representatives] gonna take care of everything outside of the pitch. So this kind of thing gives me a lot of motivation to see a lot of clubs speaking about you and stuff like this, but I'm focused."Yan Diomande has enjoyed a superb debut season at RB Leipzig(Image: Maja Hitij/Getty Images)Diomande is set to star in this summer’s World Cup with Ivory Coast, having only made his debut back in October, and played at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.No doubt there will be plenty of eyes on him in North America, although he insists he is in no rush to leave Leipzig."My contract here is until 2030, so I have four more years," Diomande explained.
