Liverpool are aiming to sign Yann Diomande from RB Leipzig in the summer transfer window.
Mohamed Salah has left the club and they need his replacement. The 19-year-old is one of Europe’s most exciting young attackers and would be a great investment for the Reds.
They will face competition from PSG for his signature, but Liverpool are pushing hard to win the race. They consider the Ivorian player a priority signing this summer.
The 19-year-old will be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League and Liverpool would be a big move for him. He has previously revealed that he has been a Liverpool fan since he was a boy. He is likely to command a premium and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can win the race for him.
Romano revealed on the Here We Go podcast:
“It’s difficult to find players these days who are young, talented, good one-on-one, fast, who can score and give assists…very difficult.
“He is wanted by Liverpool and PSG. Both clubs are still in the running. Liverpool are really pushing and are very insistent on making it happen.”
“He is a priority for Liverpool. They are providing significant funds to the player to achieve that.”
Diomande could be the ideal long-term replacement for Salah. He is a right-sided attacker who will add goals, pace and unpredictability in the future. He has proven his quality in the Bundesliga and has the technical qualities to play in English football. If Liverpool are able to secure a contract, he will aim to establish himself as one of Liverpool’s main players.
On the other hand, PSG has a wealth of human resources in a wide range of areas. Diomande may not be a guaranteed starter for them. Desiree Douet plays on the right wing and PSG are unlikely to let him go anytime soon. A move to Liverpool would be ideal for this young attacker.
