Manchester United have identified Yan Diomande as a priority target, with the winger currently topping the club’s initial shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window.

Club scouts have been highly impressed by Diomande’s performances in recent months, with consistent monitoring and detailed evaluations carried out. Internal reports are said to be overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing the club’s growing interest in securing his signature.

Diomande’s current club, RB Leipzig, reportedly value the player at over £82 million. However, that figure could decrease if Leipzig fail to secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season.

For Manchester United, Champions League qualification could also prove decisive. Securing a place in Europe’s top competition is expected to play a key role in their ability to pursue and potentially complete a deal for the winger.

Competition for Diomande is intensifying, with Bayern Munich and Liverpool FC also expressing strong interest. Several other top European clubs are understood to be closely monitoring the situation as the summer window approaches.
