Overview
- Mohamed Salah is set to leave a year early by mutual agreement, which brings no transfer fee but frees up wages and leaves Liverpool short on the wing.
- RB Leipzig are said to want about €100m (£87.3m) for Yan Diomande, whom Liverpool have tracked alongside interest from Bayern Munich and several Premier League rivals.
- Arne Slot has highlighted the need for a quicker, trickier wide player to break down deep defenses, pointing to a shift in how Premier League games are won.
- Reported alternatives include Hoffenheim's Bazoumana Touré at around €40m, Brighton's Yankuba Minteh at a price well above the £33m they paid, and Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers at more than £80m.
- BILD reports Liverpool have held off making firm offers for wingers because a head-coach change is expected, with Xabi Alonso named as the leading candidate.
