I’ll Never Forget The Opportunity RB Leipzig Gave Me – Diomande

RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande has admitted that being linked to top clubs across Europe is a motivation. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the reports provide him with extra motivation as he continues his meteoric rise in European football, so he is not frowning at the links.

Diomande added that he remains loyal to the club that supported him during his transition to the Bundesliga.

His words, “You gonna be happy and motivate to do more. I don’t really think about this kind of thing because I’m trying to be focused on the pitch and because my job is playing football so [his representatives] gonna take care of everything outside of the pitch. So this kind of things give me a lot of motivation to see a lot of clubs speaking about you and stuff like this, but I’m focused.

My contract here is until 2030, so I have four more years. What’s going to happen afterwards? I don’t know. I am a Leipzig player. I will never forget this opportunity. It’s not only about playing football, but the club helped me a lot off the pitch. The media only sees me on the pitch, but the club helped me a lot with my family and my mom. The only thing I can do for them is to give everything on the pitch and this is what I’m trying to do every day.

Nobody knew me before and €20 million is a lot. It was a big risk for them and I thank them for that. And like I said today, we are in a good way and it’s not over. We need to keep going, keep working hard. I want to thank God first of all because this year was amazing for me as a young player playing the AFCON at 19, play qualification of World Cup, playing Bundesliga and I’m on the way to play the World Cup. I’m just proud of me and I want to thank everyone at the club who gave me this amazing opportunity to be here today.”

WOW.
