Overview
- Liverpool’s target is now the focus of fresh talks, which Sky Germany’s Philipp Hinze said Tuesday would raise his pay and keep the deal free of a release clause.
- Reporter David Lynch says Diomande is on Liverpool’s winger shortlist as the club plans for life after Mohamed Salah’s confirmed summer exit.
- RB Leipzig value the Ivorian at about €100 million, and though he is not described as unsellable, a sale is considered difficult under current plans.
- Diomande’s breakout includes 11 goals and eight assists in 29 matches this season, drawing interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Arsenal.
- Leipzig are working to keep their top prospects for at least one more year and could instead cash in on others such as Castello Lukeba, which may delay any Diomande transfer until 2027.
