RB Leipzig defender Yan Diomandé is attracting interest from top European clubs. The 19-year-old Ivory Coast international has caught the eye of both Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.
The young centre-back has spoken about his feelings for PSG. He told Téléfoot that he has supported the French club since he was a young boy. His father is also a big fan of Les Parisiens.
Reports from Foot Mercato suggest Diomandé has already reached an agreement with PSG. The Paris club recently won the UEFA Champions League for the second year in a row.
However, the player says he is not thinking about his future yet. He told reporters he is concentrating on the upcoming World Cup. “I have loved PSG since I was a kid but I am not looking ahead to my future. I am staying focused on the World Cup, then we will see,” he said.

The French speaker will face France in a friendly match on Thursday. After that, he will compete in the World Cup group stage. His team will play against Ecuador, Germany, and Curacao.
