Liverpool gain edge over rivals in the race to sign 21-G/A sensation | OneFootball

Liverpool are hoping to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig at the end of the season, and they have been handed a boost in their transfer pursuit.

According to TEAMtalk, the 19-year-old is genuinely interested in a move to the Premier League club, and personal terms will not be a problem for Liverpool. It seems they will be able to get the deal done if they secure an agreement with the German club.

There have been reports that Diomande is a lifelong Liverpool fan, so it is hardly a surprise that he is interested in the move to Liverpool. It remains to be seen whether the Premier League champions can get a deal done.

Reds could use Yan Diomande

They need more quality in the wide areas, especially with Mohamed Salah set to leave the club in the summer. The 19-year-old could be the ideal replacement for the Egyptian International. He has shown his quality in Germany, with 21 goal contributions this season.

He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could improve with regular opportunities in England. He has all the attributes to develop into a star for Liverpool. Diomande has also been linked with Chelsea.

Can Liverpool afford Diomande?

Diomande could cost around £87 million, and the asking price could be an issue. Liverpool need to bring in multiple players in the summer, and spending £87 million on the African attacker could prove difficult. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

The player has also been linked with other English clubs, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Diomande will be excited to take the next step in his career and play for a bigger club. He might be able to justify the investment in future if Liverpool manages to get the deal done.
