English clubs edge Barca in race for rising winger Diomandi

Barcelona continues to study options to strengthen their left-wing attack, though a permanent signing of Marcus Rashford remains a lively possibility.

In this context, Yan Diomandi of RB Leipzig, who has Leganés experience, faces slim chances of a Camp Nou move.

Premier League clubs beat Barça to the punch, apparently

Two EPL sides edged Barcelona in the race, complicating Barca’s bid.

Leipzig ask a high fee, higher than City paid for Gvardiol (about €90 million), a price Barca can't meet soon.

Record Leipzig sale on table today

If true, it would be Leipzig’s biggest sale, after last summer's signing for around €20 million.

That price would boost EPL clubs’ leverage, with Liverpool and Tottenham reportedly in advanced talks and a winter decision possible.

Speed lures Europe’s elite indeed today

Diomandi has been impressive this season, with four goals and four assists in 14 matches across the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal.

Last season at Leganés he was modest—two goals and one assist—and an error against Sevilla drew criticism, but his pace and dribbling keep him in Europe’s sights.

Punchline: If speed could sign a contract, Diomandi would be the fastest renewal in football.

Punchline 2: Barca may need a bigger wallet and a smaller calendar to fit this deal in winter.
