"People made it out to be my dream club. But first and foremost, it's my dad's favourite club. It was always his great wish to see me there someday because he loves the atmosphere at Anfield. He always raved about Steven Gerrard. I was too young to see him play. We didn't even have a TV at home for a long time. I have a lot of respect for Liverpool, but my dream club right now is Leipzig."
"It's always nice to hear something like that. But I haven't spoken to anyone from Bayern. It's not the right time for that. I'm happy here in Leipzig and want to remain fully focused."
Yan Diomande identifies RB Leipzig as his present dream club while expressing respect for Liverpool due to his father's admiration of Anfield and Steven Gerrard. His father longed to see him play at Anfield, and the family lacked a TV for a long time. Diomande leads the 2025-26 Bundesliga with 74 completed dribbles and 138 dribble attempts, well ahead of competitors. He has created 33 chances from open play this season, with only three players recording more. Diomande has not spoken to Bayern, views the timing as wrong for a move, and remains happy and focused at Leipzig.
