Overview
- Liverpool have held early talks and placed RB Leipzig’s 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande among their top options to succeed Mohamed Salah, according to reports from Lewis Steele and Florian Plettenberg.
- RB Leipzig value Diomande at around €100m and, per reporter Philipp Hinze, accept it will be extremely difficult to keep him this summer.
- Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano says Paris Saint‑Germain and Bayern Munich have checked on Diomande, with other clubs including Manchester United also linked in separate reports.
- Christian Falk reports there has been no Liverpool offer involving Cody Gakpo and that Leipzig would reject a swap, with the German club preferring younger, developmental profiles.
- The Athletic’s James Pearce cautions that Liverpool may avoid a marquee winger if prices stay high, noting spending power will hinge on Champions League qualification.
