Juventus have reportedly joined the growing list of top European clubs monitoring Yan Diomande, the highly rated RB Leipzig winger born in 2006 and already part of the Ivory Coast national setup.
However, despite the initial interest, completing such a deal could prove extremely difficult for the Bianconeri.

According to information coming from Germany and reported by BILD, the financial demands involved place the potential transfer well beyond Juventus’ current reach.
Leipzig’s Valuation and Juventus’ Position on Yan Diomande
RB Leipzig are said to rate Diomande between €70 and €80 million, a figure that reflects both his immense potential and the club’s strategy of maximizing value for their most promising talents.
For Juventus, who are still operating with caution in the transfer market and prioritizing sustainability, such an investment would be considered excessive.
The Turin-based club have been attentive to young profiles in recent seasons, but spending close to €80 million on a teenager would represent a major departure from their current approach.

Juventus’ interest should therefore be seen more as strategic monitoring rather than a concrete move at this stage. The club’s scouting department continues to follow emerging talents across Europe, yet financial realities remain a decisive factor.
While the price tag may deter Juventus, it is far less intimidating for Europe’s wealthiest clubs. Manchester City, Liverpool and Bayern Munich have reportedly already placed Diomande high on their respective shortlists.
These clubs possess both the financial power and long-term planning structures needed to invest heavily in elite young prospects. Diomande’s explosive pace, technical quality and versatility on the flanks have made him one of the most exciting young attackers in the Bundesliga pipeline.
Leipzig, renowned for developing and selling talents at premium prices, are under no pressure to negotiate, especially given the strong competition among elite clubs.
As highlighted by BILD, the race for Diomande appears set to be dominated by clubs capable of meeting Leipzig’s valuation without hesitation.

For Juventus, unless there is a dramatic shift in strategy or market conditions, the Diomande deal currently looks more like an ambitious idea than a realistic objective.
