There’s been a lot of speculation about wingers Liverpool could sign in the next transfer window, with Diomande frequently mentioned as a top target.
Below are some key recent updates on the Diomande to Liverpool story…
- 30th January: Liverpool among the clubs scouting Diomande, according to Christian Falk in his CF Bayern Insider column.
- 17th February: Liverpool linked again with Diomande in a deal worth roughly £80m, as per talkSPORT.
- 5th March: Liverpool said to have already held talks over signing the Ivory Coast international, according to Florian Plettenberg on X.
Now a new update from Fichajes states that LFC look to have decided to make Diomande their priority target, even if he costs €100m.
Liverpool prepare historic Yan Diomande transfer investment
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are ready to make a ‘historic’ investment in Diomande as they prepare for the post-Salah era.
The talented 19-year-old has shone in the Bundesliga, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young players in Europe’s big five leagues.
With ten goals and six assists in the German top flight this season, it’s easy to see Diomande having an impact with better players around him, so a move to Anfield could be an ideal next step in his career.
It won’t be easy replacing a club legend like Salah, but Diomande looks like one of the more realistic options out there right now as Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise surely won’t be available.
