Yours for £80m: Liverpool's PERFECT wide forward is now available | OneFootball

Diomande endorses Liverpool move

The 19-year-old has been in sensational form during his debut campaign in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig. Signed for only £18m from Leganes last summer the Ivory Coast international has taken European football by storm.

The winger has already expressed a preference for Liverpool if and when the time comes to make his next move. And with his Leipzig contract extending to 2030 it’s not going to be easy for interested clubs to strike a deal.

But Liverpool will be right there for Diomande’s signature if and when the time comes for Leipzig to cash in.

According to a report in Football Insider it was Tottenham who made the first attempt to sign Diomande back in January - but were put off by the asking price.

The time has come to sign new winger

Estimated at around £80m Diomande is on the list for several more clubs - including Manchester United. Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

“Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea are each keeping tabs on Yan Diomande’s progress at RB Leipzig after Tottenham were priced out of a move to sign him in January,” the report reads.

“You’ve got the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich all interested as well.

“So he’s going to have a lot of options, Diomande, and he is going to be one to watch for sure in the summer.”

Liverpool spent big on new forwards last summer - including British record deals for Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. Those two - along with Hugo Ekitike - were brought in to improve the central spine of the attack.
