Liverpool have been given significant reinforcements for their top target this summer and are currently preparing a big offer to secure his contract.
The Reds are in a ruthless mood after last disappointing season and have already moved to sack Arne Slott, bring in Andoni Iraola and secure the first signing of Spaniard Víctor Muñoz.
The Spaniard looked set to move to Newcastle United, but Liverpool came back and did their usual troubling job and welcomed the winger to Anfield.
The Magpies are back to square one, but the Merseyside outfit is just getting started. They are planning to spend large sums of money on other attackers in the coming months.
The likes of Bradley Barcora and Matias Fernandes-Pardo are on Liverpool’s radar as they look to sign another exciting winger, but it’s no secret that Yann Diomande remains their top target.
Anfield bosses have already seen offers worth €100m (about £87m) turned down for the RB Leipzig star, but they are ready to make another big splash just 12 months after spending around £450m on reinforcements last summer.

Romano shares important updates on Liverpool and Diomand
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are currently preparing a huge offer for Diomande, which could exceed €100m (about £87m) and approach Leipzig’s offer of €120m (about £104m).
While negotiations were underway, Diomand also made important decisions about his future. According to Romano, the winger is aiming to leave Leipzig this summer and would give the green light to a move from the German club, giving the Anfield players a big boost.

Liverpool were able to make a statement again last summer by not being afraid to spend big. As the World Cup continues, Diomande’s asking price also starts to make more and more sense.
The 19-year-old played a key role in Ivory Coast’s goal against Germany in the group stage and made eight successful dribbles in two games in the tournament. To give you an idea of how impressive this is, the last teenager to complete more dribbles in the first two games of a World Cup was Lionel Messi.
