"When Bayern Munich began the 2025/26 season, fans and critics alike scoffed at the Bavarians' attacking squad depth. In Serge Gnabry, Luis Díaz, Michael Olise and Harry Kane, Bayern only had 4 fit senior forwards for 4 positions. Considering top teams prefer to have two players per position, it was unheard of. However, with the signing of Nicholas Jackson, the emergence of Lennart Karl and the, at the time of writing, imminent return of Jamal Musiala from injury, the situation has dramatically changed."
"FC Bayern also keen on Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig and already have him on their list for the coming summer. The plan is still to bring in a top talent for the wing, preferably on the left side. [Köln winger] Saïd El Mala remains very high on the list. Other candidates are being monitored. In the end, the price will be decisive. Diomande with a contract until 2030 with no release clause. A move after the World Cup is possible."
"Reports have indicated that Diomande, one of the breakout stars of the Bundesliga in the 2025/26 season, will not come cheap. The Ivory Coast winger could command a price tag anywhere between 60 and 100 million euros, if reports are to be believed. Does allocating so much money to a position where Luis Díaz has already firmly established himself as a starter make sense? Probably not."
Bayern Munich began the 2025/26 season with only four fit senior forwards: Serge Gnabry, Luis Díaz, Michael Olise and Harry Kane. The signings of Nicholas Jackson, the emergence of Lennart Karl and the imminent return of Jamal Musiala increased attacking depth. Bayern remain interested in further wing reinforcements, with Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig and Saïd El Mala of FC Köln on their list. Diomande is contracted until 2030 with no release clause and could move after the World Cup. Reported valuations for Diomande range from €60–100m. El Mala also has a long-term contract and would command a significant fee, raising questions about repeating a large outlay.
