Overview
- Reports published on May 20 say Liverpool have begun preparing a move for RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa as a fallback while their pursuit of Yan Diomande faces growing obstacles.
- Yan Diomande remains Liverpool’s preferred Salah successor but Leipzig’s reluctance to sell, a reported valuation near €100m and a contract running to 2030 make a summer transfer difficult.
- Antonio Nusa is a 21-year-old left‑winger praised for dribbling and technical skill who registered around five goals and four assists this season and is priced in the tens of millions by some outlets.
- Liverpool view signings on both flanks as urgent after Mohamed Salah’s confirmed exit in March and injuries to other forwards, and the club is weighing how a left‑sided signing would limit Rio Ngumoha’s playing time and the club’s plans to resist loaning the youngster.
- Several Premier League and European clubs, including Tottenham and PSG, are linked to both Leipzig wingers so Liverpool face competition that will shape whether they must pay a premium or pivot fully to Nusa.
