Leipzig keen to reward Diomande with performance-based salary boost
Leipzig keen to reward Diomande with performance-based salary boost RB Leipzig are planning a contract adjustment with a performance-based salary increase to reward Yan Diomande's outstanding development, according to Sky Germany. The winger is on the radar of several top clubs across Europe. Behind the scenes, however, the Saxony-based club is working intensively on his future.
The initial situation clearly favors Leipzig with Diomande who has a long-term contract at the Saxony based club until 2030 – without a release clause present. Nevertheless, one thing is certain – the 19-year-old is not unsellable. Leipzig must generate transfer revenue again this summer with the Ivorian's price tag is around €100million, and rising.
However, according to Sky Germany, other players are primarily intended to generate that necessary income – Diomande is not among them for the time being. Castello Lukeba, who is planning his next move, could generate a transfer fee of €65 to €70 million. While selling Antonio Nusa could realistically bring in around €50 million.
