<p>Yan Diomande will wait until after the World Cup to make a decision on his future, so says Ivory Coast coach Emerse Fae.</p>
<p>Diomande&#8217;s displays for RB Leipzig in 2025-26 saw him head into the World Cup having piqued the interest of some of Europe&#8217;s top clubs.</p>
<p>Liverpool and Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain are among those credited with an interest in the winger.</p>
<p>And the 19-year-old&#8217;s stock only rose as he turned in a superb performance in Ivory Coast&#8217;s 1-0 win over Ecuador on Sunday.</p>
<p>Diomande created five chances in the Group E contest. Only two Ivory Coast players have created more chances in a single World Cup match: Arthur Boka in 2010 against DPR Korea (six) and Didier Zokora against Serbia in 2006 (seven).</p>
<p>But Fae says any talk over Diomande&#8217;s next move will have to wait until after Ivory Coast&#8217;s campaign is over.</p>
<p>&#8220;When we were in France, during the preparation, journalists told me he was about to sign with PSG,&#8221; Fae said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here, they tell me he&#8217;s about to sign with Liverpool!</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know, but for now, he will focus on the World Cup, and then afterwards, he can think about the rest of his career.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s very talented, but beyond the talent, he&#8217;s very young and he&#8217;ll improve.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a kid who works hard, has a real team spirit, laughs with everyone, and he listens, listens to the technical staff whenever he&#8217;s given advice, and tries to do his best, as he&#8217;s told.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s easy to work with someone like Yan, he&#8217;s so talented and has what is needed, plus he can give you the victory and was a real challenge for [Piero] Hincapie, a Champions League finalist.&#8221;</p>
<p>Diomande also attempted a game-high seven dribbles, completing four of them, while he also led the way for duels contested (15) and duels won (11) and touches in the opposition box (12).</p>
<p>He registered 22 goal involvements for Leipzig in 2025-26, scoring 13 times and providing a joint-team-high nine assists.</p>
<p>Among Bundesliga players in all competitions, only Michael Olise (140) completed more dribbles than Diomande (132) across the season.</p>
