Former Leganes head coach Borja Jimenez asserts RB Leipzig's Ivorian forward Yann Diomande possesses exceptional talent, making him ready for a major European club. Jimenez, who coached Diomande at Leganes during the 2024-25 season, witnessed his explosive emergence. Diomande's market value has surged to €90m, and his Bundesliga performances for RB Leipzig highlight his status as a top young talent.

Jimenez compares Diomande to Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal, citing his remarkable one-on-one ability and composure. He recalls Diomande's incredible impact in a 2025 internal match at Leganes. Former teammate Enric Franquesa echoes this admiration, praising Diomande's maturity and bravery. Both Jimenez and Franquesa are convinced Diomande is destined for one of Europe's elite clubs, with Real Madrid reportedly monitoring his progress.
