Liverpool to pay €100m for Diomande

Liverpool must pay €100 million to sign RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, with Sky Germany reporting the Reds' interest in the 19-year-old.

Liverpool's forward planning ahead of a post-Salah era has taken a significant turn with interest in RB Leipzig's rising star Yan Diomande. The 19-year-old has delivered 11 goals and eight assists in 29 appearances this season, showcasing the versatility across both wings that aligns with the club's attacking identity.

Competition for Diomande is fierce, with Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United also monitoring the situation. Leipzig are working on a new contract without a release clause, strengthening their negotiating position, though Liverpool's established transfer relationship with the German club could prove crucial in negotiations.
