RB Leipzig's sporting director Marcel Schafer has hit out at the reporting of Yan Diomande's future in this transfer window.
Diomande has been heavily linked with a move away from Leipzig this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Real Madrid all chasing the winger's signature.
"It’s clear that some so-called transfer experts reported a few days ago that the deal was done or gave it the ‘here we go.'"

I don’t think a transfer would fall through because of that, if it even comes to a transfer in the first place."
