RB Leipzig attacks: Diomande and Bakayoko are about to change!
RB Leipzig is facing a significant upheaval in attack and has dealt with two promising talents on the transfer market. Yan Diomande, an 18-year-old Ivorian from CD Leganés, is expected in Leipzig on Tuesday to undergo medical tests. The young winger can be signed for €20 million, giving Leipzig an additional option on the left. His involvement could be particularly important to put pressure on current player Antonio Nusa, who is only 20 years old. Expectations are high for Diomande as he has the skills needed to enliven the game and provide new impetus, reports Picture.
In addition to Diomande, RB Leipzig has also almost completed the transfer of Johan Bakayoko. The 22-year-old right winger was hired from PSV Eindhoven for around €19 million plus up to €4 million in bonuses. Bakayoko will also sign a long-term contract until 2030. On Monday, the player did not appear at the start of training for his previous team, which is seen as an indication of his impending commitment. RB Leipzig has already reached an oral agreement with Bakayoko and is in negotiations with PSV Eindhoven, which are also showing progress. These two transfers close crucial positions in the Leipzig squad, strengthening the team for the coming season Sky reported.
Strategic decisions for the future
The signings of Diomande and Bakayoko are part of a broader plan by RB Leipzig that aims to refocus the attack and bring a breath of fresh air to the squad. Leipzig will also be looking for a right-footed central defender, which depends on the possible departure of other players. The return of Kosta Nedeljkovic, who returns on loan with an option to buy for another year, is also seen as an important step in strengthening the defense. Nedeljkovic was at the start of training on Monday, which shows the fans that Leipzig is actively looking for reinforcements.
Jürgen Klopp was present on the sidelines of training but did not address the team as the focus was on new coach Ole Werner. Werner himself emphasized the importance of an open and transparent exchange and brought the basic goals of the season to the fore. This strategy could be crucial to quickly integrate the new players into the team structure and strengthen the chemistry within the team.
