once again improve at the top this summer, especially with Mohamed Salah leaving at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>A number of names have been floated for a move to Merseyside this summer, but it remains to be seen which players will be the top targets at this point.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"liverpool-to-make-pound-60m-bid-for-attacking-sensation\"><span

  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In recent weeks, Bayern Munich star Michael Oliseh is just one of the players being touted as a summer replacement for Salah.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman remained in excellent form throughout the ongoing campaign, going on to score a total of 45 goals and assists in as many games as Vincent Kompany&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>    However, the Bundesliga side announced this summer that they would not put the 24-year-old up for sale at any price, which could disrupt business for the Reds during the off-season.<\/p>\n<p>Olise is not the only player in Germany&#8217;s top flight currently attracting attention in the division, with RB Leipzig star Yann Diomande also being praised behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>According to SPORT via Sport Witness, Liverpool are preparing a bid of \u00a360m for the Ivorian, who has scored 16 goals and provided an assist this season.<\/p>\n<p>But the Reds aren&#8217;t the only players targeting the 19-year-old this summer, with Chelsea and Barcelona also in the race for the youngster in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>    It remains to be seen whether the subsequent transfer fee will be enough to secure his contract, but Diomande&#8217;s status as a Reds fan could give them an advantage in the race.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2

Diomande could be Liverpool&#8217;s next Szoboszlai<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Back in the summer of 2023, Liverpool completed the signing of attacking midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai from German club RB Leipzig for \u00a360 million, but few fans knew what was coming.<\/p>\n<p>    However, a few years have passed and the Hungarian is now one of the Reds&#8217; star players, with his performances leaving slot players with a chance of a top-four finish.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old has scored a combined eight goals and provided an assist in the Premier League this season, many of which have been hailed as the division&#8217;s goals of the season.<\/p>\n<p>He has certainly been a bright light for the club in attacking areas in recent months, scoring two long-range shots against Manchester City and Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Reds could sign a similar deal for Diomande this summer, with the Ivory Coast international following in the footsteps of Szoboszlai and moving from Leipzig to Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>    Like the Hungarian, he is unknown to many supporters, but there is no doubt that the club will be acquiring a top young talent who will be on Merseyside for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>His basic stats further underline the quality he possesses and there is a chance he could emulate Szoboszlai in becoming a fan favorite if he moves to Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old has a 50% shooting accuracy on target and 1.1 shots per 90 on target, both of which rank in the top 20% of all players in the division.<\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned figure adds an extra dimension to the club&#8217;s front line and could potentially follow in the footsteps of Szoboszlai, who made his breakthrough inside the final third at Anfield.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\"

while creating 2.1 chances per 90 so far this season.<\/p>\n<p>The latter is higher than 88% of players in this category, and the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Isak and Szoboszlai could improve their record even further.<\/p>\n<p>    However, the Ivorian&#8217;s greatest asset is his ability to glide past opponents, as evidenced by his impressive 4.1 dribbles per 90, a success rate of 58%.<\/p>\n<p>At just 19 years old, it&#8217;s truly scary to see how impressive Leipzig&#8217;s star has been throughout this season, and his talent makes him the perfect successor to Salah.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear whether the \u00a360m offer will be accepted during the summer, but it is a sign of the management&#8217;s intention to further strengthen the squad during the off-season.<\/p>\n<p>If he can take action and approach the level Szoboszlai produced at Anfield, it would be another monumental undertaking by the glory-chasing Reds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small
