Bayern Munich are reportedly looking to bring in a winger in the summer, and RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande is said to be one of their targets.
According to Bild's Bayern Insider podcast, the German champions are prepared to spend €60 million to bring the 19-year-old to Säbener Straße at the end of the season.
Whether that will be enough to convince Leipzig to sell, however, is highly doubtful.
RB Leipzig's supervisory board chairman, Oliver Mintzlaff, recently made it clear that there is a desire to keep Diomande beyond the summer even if an offer of €80-90 million arrives.
“As chairman of the supervisory board, I would say he will definitely be with us next season – even if there were an offer of €80 or €90 million," Oliver Mintzlaff told Sky.
“You simply can’t let go of such a young player, whom we just signed, after only one year. He’s extremely young and playing his first Bundesliga season. We’ve worked to ensure that players can stay a bit longer.”
