Liverpool reach agreement with €100m Mohamed Salah replacement | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah

Salah played for the first time since announcing his departure against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds are faced with an incredibly tough task as they try to replace the Egyptian King, but there are already a few names being floated as Salah’s heir.

Last summer’s acquisitions of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike will go some way towards replacing Salah’s output, but someone new will have to be added to fill Salah’s position in the squad.

Liverpool’s search is well underway and a new report is claiming they’ve already agreed personal terms with a potential Salah successor.

Liverpool agree Yan Diomande deal

One of the most spoken about young players in world football this season has been RB Leipzig’s 19-year-old sensation Yan Diomande, who is widely reported to be on Liverpool’s shortlist for the summer.

Leipzig are keen to keep hold of the electric winger, but a fee of €100 million (~£87m) could be enough for the German side to sanction a sale.

Now, a fresh report from Spanish outlet Fichajes is claiming that not only are the Reds preparing an offer nearing the €100m mark but they have also already agreed personal terms with the player.

The report states that the only obstacle left for Liverpool to overcome is a club-to-club agreement with Leipzig, who are reluctant to budge from their valuation.

Liverpool spent big last summer, with an outlay of over £400m, so some sales may be necessary before Leipzig’s price tag can be paid.

Signing Diomande would be a real show of intent from Liverpool, and if they truly have agreed personal terms with the youngster then a €100m offer could soon follow.
