FC Bayern is looking for reinforcements on the wing – and apparently has its sights set on a starter from a Bundesliga competitor: Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig. Sky Sport reported this on Monday evening.
The attacker, who only moved to the Saxons from CD Leganes in Spain for 20 million euros in the summer, was able to immediately attract attention in the Bundesliga thanks to his speed and goal threat. In 16 competitive games he scored seven goals and prepared four more. The 19-year-old is currently playing with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations. Leipzig gave him a contract until 2030 without an exit clause, which would complicate negotiations.
At Bayern, Diomande Luis Diáz should put pressure on the wing position. However, Sky Sport reports: A transfer in winter is ruled out.
Silas has been playing for VfB Stuttgart since 2019, has scored 35 goals in 132 competitive games and was instrumental in the club’s promotion to the Bundesliga. But now the offensive player is about to say goodbye to VfB: According to information from Sky Sport, the Swabians and Mainz 05 agreed on a transfer on Monday. Mainz plans to pay an initial transfer fee, which could rise to up to one million euros if they stay in the league.
A final agreement with Silas is still pending, but is expected soon. The 27-year-old no longer plays a role in coach Sebastian Hoeneß’s plans and would like to leave the club.
