Overview
- Diomandé remains Liverpool’s primary choice to replace Mohamed Salah with the club having greenlit him as their preferred target.
- RB Leipzig have signalled they want to retain Diomandé and are preparing an improved contract and a steep asking price that several reports put between about €100m and €120m.
- Sky Germany and other outlets say an agent dispute involving Diomandé’s former agency has also complicated any immediate move and is under scrutiny.
- Liverpool have intensified interest in Antonio Nusa as a concrete fallback, with reporting valuing him at roughly €55m and noting he plays predominantly on the left wing.
- Wider market pressure from Bayern, PSG and Premier League clubs plus Liverpool’s urgent need after Salah’s confirmed exit mean the club may pursue structured deals or speed up recruitment choices.
