Highly sought after in the transfer market, the big hope of Ivorian football, Yan Diomandé, has already made a bold move ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
A breakout star this season at Leipzig, the 19-year-old winger (9 caps, 3 goals with the Elephants) is set to be one of the summer attractions in Germany. Aware of the interest surrounding him, the Ivorian international has decided to change his representative.
Yan Diomandé joins the same circle as Vinicius Junior
According to Fabrizio Romano, the young forward has signed with Roc Nation Sports International, the agency that manages the interests of Vinicius Junior, Kevin De Bruyne, Endrick, and Senegalese double African champion Idrissa Gana Gueye.
This choice ends his collaboration with Maxidel Management, the agency of his compatriot Max-Alain Gradel, a former iconic figure of the Elephants (113 caps, 18 goals).
Last month, Yan Diomandé had already dismissed rumors about a possible extension with his previous agency. During the ongoing AFCON 2025, this matter sparked numerous debates in the Ivorian football landscape.
A strong signal ahead of the summer transfer window
This change in representation seems to be an additional hint of a busy summer ahead for the Abidjan native. Less than a year after his arrival in Saxony, the young winger has caught the attention of several top European clubs, according to Fabrizio Romano.
A key player for RB Leipzig, he has already played 21 matches this season, including 16 starts, with a tally of 8 goals and 6 assists. Under contract until June 2030, his market value is estimated at 45 million euros by Transfermarkt.
