Paris saint-germain targets yan diomandé as kang-in lee’s successor
The summer transfer window is buzzing with activity for Paris Saint-Germain! The capital club, having reportedly reached an agreement with AC Milan for the sale of Gonçalo Ramos, is also preparing for the departure of Kang-In Lee. With the South Korean midfielder seemingly headed for Atlético de Madrid, PSG’s sporting advisor Luis Campos and coach Luis Enrique have reportedly identified just one top target to fill the void: 19-year-old Yan Diomandé.
Paris Saint-Germain is poised for a dynamic summer transfer period. However, initial efforts by the Parisian management appear focused on streamlining the squad. This Friday, numerous reports indicated a significant understanding had been reached between Paris and AC Milan regarding the transfer of Gonçalo Ramos. In addition to the Portuguese forward, Kang-In Lee is also anticipated to depart the club shortly. For several days, the South Korean star has been strongly linked with a move to Atlético de Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain and Luis Enrique’s interest in Yan Diomandé
While recent insights from the Spanish press suggest Kang-In Lee’s potential exit could secure approximately €35M for PSG, a clear path has emerged for his successor. According to revelations from the publication AS, the Parisian club is actively pursuing Yan Diomandé to replace the number 19. Highly coveted by Liverpool as well, the Ivorian international is recognized as one of global football’s most sought-after young talents. Luis Campos is expected to advance discussions on this matter very soon, especially given that Luis Enrique is reportedly a significant admirer of the RB Leipzig prodigy’s profile.
“My focus remains on the World Cup”
Currently representing Côte d’Ivoire in the ongoing World Cup, Yan Diomandé offered a candid response when questioned about his post-tournament future: “No, I don’t know what decision I’ll make,” he stated. “My thoughts aren’t on my future beyond the World Cup. I’m channeling all my energy into the competition itself, and we’ll see what unfolds afterwards. I can’t comment further on that now.”
