Klopp hand-picked! The 18-year-old Bundesliga genius attracted nine wealthy clubs to snap up. Red Bull priced it at 100 million

On November 6, foreign media "TBR Football" reported that RB Leipzig's 18-year-old winger Diomande has become a hot commodity that major European clubs are competing for. The Premier League BIG6, Real Madrid, Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain all hope to sign him next summer. The talented winger discovered by Klopp just joined RB Leipzig this summer for a transfer fee of 20 million euros. Now, RB Leipzig has priced him at 100 million.

This summer, RB Leipzig has undergone a large-scale reorganization. Players such as Sheshko, Harvey Simons, Oponda, Poulsen, and Andre Silva left the team one after another, and were replaced by players such as Konrad Harder, Vermeulen, Romulo, Jan Diomande, and Joao Bakayoko. None of these new signings are over 23 years old, and the manipulator behind them is former Liverpool coach Klopp.

At the beginning of this year, Klopp officially became the global football director of Red Bull Group. In this summer window, Klopp was deeply involved in RB Leipzig's player recruitment, personally meeting with target players to persuade them to join. During the rebuilding process this summer, he welcomed the arrival of all new players. Among the young talents selected by Klopp, 18-year-old Diomande performed best at RB Leipzig.

When RB Leipzig signed Diomande, he only played 10 La Liga games for Leganes. Under the recommendation of Red Bull's global football director Klopp, RB Leipzig spent 20 million euros to sign the 18-year-old Diomande. Today, Diomande has become RB Leipzig's main right winger, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists in 9 Bundesliga games.

Klopp admires Diomande very much. Red Bull's head of global football believes the right-footed, inward-cutting player is one of the best young wingers in world football. Reporter Graeme Bailey added: "Diomande is really special. I am told that Red Bull considers him to be the greatest potential star they have signed since Haaland. Leipzig said he has no release clause and his current price tag is 100 million euros."

Although only 18 years old, he has already begun to make an impact at club and national team level: contributing 2 goals and 3 assists in 9 Bundesliga games this season, and scoring 2 goals in 2 games for the Ivory Coast national team. The teenager not only has a keen sense of goal, but he is also an excellent dribbler - in the past year, he ranked in the top 1% of players in the same position for the number of successful dribbles and the number of advanced dribbles per 90 minutes.

Leipzig is very aware of the huge potential of this 18-year-old new player, and they hope to use this "hundreds of millions of euros" price tag to show that this new star is not for sale. This amount automatically prohibits most clubs. In theory, only top European clubs such as the Premier League BIG6, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain can afford this cost.
