PSG reportedly re-open talks for Leipzig's Diomande to disrupt Real Madrid

The winger looked destined to join the club from the Spanish capital, but perhaps PSG haven't given up despite their previous failed €100m bid.

According to L'Équipe, representatives of Paris Saint-Germain have contacted RB Leipzig again in recent hours regarding Yan Diomande.

Amid talks of Real Madrid closing the deal out for the winger, the Parisians want to assess the situation one last time and plot a hijack. 

Intriguingly, contrary to Fabrizio Romano's report on Sunday, PSG said they had withdrawn from the race due to “excessive demands”.

In any case, this last-ditch approach from the reigning Champions League winners could now come too late to sign the Ivorian international.

If Real Madrid puts the €120million minimum transfer fee demanded by RB Leipzig on the table, the Bundesliga side should agree. 

After all, Diomande himself recently agreed to a five-year contract with the Galacticos whom he previously stated were his childhood club.
