Bundesliga: 6 matches, 0 goals, 0 assists — 18-year-old rising star valued at €20 million, Leipzig sets price tag at €100 million

Leipzig has offloaded numerous players in recent years, earning substantial money, and now they are asking for much higher fees. Imagine this: an 18-year-old forward valued at just €20 million with zero goals and assists in 6 Bundesliga games is being directly priced at €100 million by Leipzig, who also state his worth continues to climb.

According to the latest report from German Sky journalist Philipp Hinze, Leipzig has set a €100 million price tag on their new signing, 18-year-old Ivorian forward Yann Diomandé, claiming the player’s value is still increasing.

Yann Diomandé made his name at Leganés and this summer transferred to Leipzig for €20 million. When he joined, his market value was €1.5 million, meaning Leipzig paid roughly 13 times his previous valuation.

Now 18 years old, Yann Diomandé stands 1.80 meters tall, is right-footed, primarily plays as a left winger, and is contracted with Leipzig until 2030. His transfermarkt value has surged to €20 million, reflecting the usual practice of aligning player value with transfer fees.

Since joining Leipzig, Yann Diomandé has appeared in 6 Bundesliga matches, starting 3 times, totaling 285 minutes played without contributing to any goals. He also started once in the German Cup, scoring 1 goal. Leipzig praises his outstanding performances, noting that this Ivorian left winger has attracted interest from several top clubs in the five major European leagues and is priced at €100 million.

However, fans find it hard to understand how a forward with zero goals and assists in 6 Bundesliga matches can be valued at €100 million.
