Yan Diomande is one of the big discoveries of this Bundesliga season. With twelve goals and eight assists, the RB Leipzig winger is the sixth best scorer in the German upper house in his debut season, which has increased his market value from 1.5 million to 75 million euros since his move. Will the next plus follow on May 27th? Bring your arguments into the discussion now and help decide on the new market values of the Bundesliga professionals – go straight to the market value analysis here.
There has been a heated debate for months as to whether Diomande will leave the Red Bulls after just one season. RB wants to counteract this with a new contract including a salary increase. For boss Oliver Mintzlaff, it is clear that the 19-year-old will definitely not be given up this summer. “I’m on the supervisory board and not the sports director. But I can say: If I were the sports director, I wouldn’t sell this young player who hasn’t even been with us for a full season, no matter what the price is,” said the 50-year-old on “Sky”. “I believe that he is a player who is still developing anyway, because he is of course still very young and can certainly become even more expensive.”
The most expensive RB departure to date is Josko Gvardiol, who went to Manchester City in 2023 for 90 million euros. It is said that Diomande will bring in at least 100 million euros in the future. Transfer market users also see it close to this amount in the market value analysis. On average, they are demanding an increase in value for the Ivorian to a good 98 million euros. This would move him into the top 25 most valuable players in the world. User “Gabelbrasil”, for example, argues: “What an incredible season! The day they introduced him I thought: How on earth can they pay 20 million for a boy who has only played ten games in LaLiga?! Well, now we know that he is one of the best players in the league! He almost always wins the duel, is fast, has good dribbling and a goal instinct to boot.” What do you think about Diomande’s market value? Join the discussion in the market value analysis now!
I think what’s also a point that needs to be discussed about Diomande is the fact that he hasn’t played any games in international competition yet and hasn’t been able to provide any evidence of his performance there. I don’t want to put the brakes on the demands here because I also find it a difficult person to determine the MW because his profile is simply extremely interesting. He basically has everything to be a player with outstanding transfer potential…
Bayern’s Aleksandar Pavlovic is currently at the same market value level as Diomande. But there could also be a decent plus for the defensive midfielder in the next update. On average, users would like an increase from 75 million to 97 million euros – only Moisés Caicedo and Vitinha would be more valuable in his position. User “Guardian” even advocates 100 million euros: “There are no arguments against 100 million euros, but now he is also scoring important goals on the biggest stage in the world against the best opponents in the world. You don’t even have to start with his core tasks, because he has been the undisputed world class there for a long time. A metronome in midfield.”
The market value is simply not in line with the current market if you make international comparisons of players who play for smaller clubs and have shown less.
There are also regular rumors about absolute elite clubs, although everyone knows that Pavlovic is 100% Bavarian.
Overall, Bayern’s market values are pretty strange if you compare Bayern’s standing and quality and the market values then say Bayern only has a top 10 squad. Of course the squad size plays a role…
Johan Manzambi also recommended an increase in market value. The Freiburg player has taken off this season, has established himself as a regular player and has long since attracted the interest of top European clubs. With a market value of 35 million euros, the 20-year-old is the most valuable professional in the SC squad. According to reports, Freiburg will only be willing to talk with an offer of over 30 million euros – the Breisgauers have never received more than 25 million euros from a player sale. TM users see even more potential and would currently put Manzambi’s value at just under 48 million euros.
What talent! Since his return (after being sent off against Werder Bremen) he has only played great games: a goal against Bayern, against Heidenheim, an assist against Genk, etc. He is our best player this season and deserves to see his market value increase. I really hope he takes the next big step in his career. …

This is how transfer market market values work
The transfer market market values are created taking into account various pricing models as well as a strong involvement of the transfer market community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values cannot generally be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but rather an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this are listed here. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
