‘I'm happy here in Leipzig,’ Yan Diomande responds to rumours linking him to Bayern Munich

The Ivory Coast international says he has not spoken to anyone about Bayern.

Rumours persist about the interest of several clubs, notably Bayern Munich, in Yan Diomande. Having arrived in Leipzig last summer from Leganés, the 19-year-old striker is impressing and attracting the attention of Europe's big clubs.

But Diomande is not listening to the speculation linking him with a move to Bavaria, even though he thinks it is an honour to be mentioned in connection with a big club like Bayern Munich.

‘It's always nice to hear that kind of thing. But I haven't spoken to anyone about Bayern, it's not the right time. I'm happy here in Leipzig and I want to stay focused,’ said the Ivory Coast international.

Leipzig acquired Yan Diomande for €20 million. However, the club is reportedly hoping for €100 million before letting its winger go. In his first season in the Bundesliga, the 19-year-old Ivorian scored eight goals and provided three assists in 21 appearances.
