PSG Begin Talks to Sign RB Leipzig Star Yan Diomande as Gonçalo Ramos Nears Exit

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly opened negotiations with Bundesliga club RB Leipzig over the signing of highly-rated Ivory Coast forward Yan Diomande.

According to a source familiar with the discussions, the 19-year-old has informed Leipzig of his desire to join the French champions during the current transfer window, while also expressing his eagerness to complete the move to the reigning UEFA Champions League winners.

Diomande, who remains under contract with the German club until 2030, is said to be one of PSG's priority transfer targets as the club looks to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the new season.

The potential arrival of the Ivorian youngster could coincide with the departure of Portuguese striker Gonçalo Ramos, who is reportedly on the verge of joining AC Milan.

Reports indicate that PSG and the Italian giants have reached an agreement for Ramos' transfer in a deal worth approximately €74 million, with additional performance-related bonuses potentially increasing the total package to €90 million. However, the French club has yet to officially confirm the reported agreement.

Born in Abidjan, Diomande had a brief spell with Spanish side Leganés in 2025 before securing a move to RB Leipzig. He enjoyed an outstanding first season in the Bundesliga, scoring 12 goals and quickly establishing himself as one of the league's most promising young attackers.

The winger is currently on international duty with the Ivory Coast national team as they prepare for Tuesday's FIFA World Cup Round of 32 encounter against Norway.

Should the transfer be completed, Diomande would become PSG's first major signing of the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, Ramos appears set to end his three-year stay in Paris. Since joining from Benfica, the Portugal international has helped PSG win three Ligue 1 titles, two domestic cup trophies and two UEFA Champions League crowns.

Despite those achievements, the 24-year-old found regular starting opportunities difficult to come by under manager Luis Enrique. He initially played behind Kylian Mbappé and later Ousmane Dembélé in the club's attacking pecking order, failing to start a single Champions League match this season.

Even so, Ramos remained a valuable squad member, contributing 45 goals in 131 appearances across all competitions for the French champions.
