Forget Diomande; Liverpool considering move for another Bundesliga forward
Liverpool Transfer News: 21-Year-Old Bundesliga Forward on Redsâ Radar
Just two games remain of Liverpoolâs disastrous title defence, and attention is already starting to turn onto the summer transfer window.
With players like Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson already confirming their plans to leave at the end of the season, Liverpool have a big task on their hands this summer.
Thatâs without mentioning the potential exits of Alisson Becker, Joe Gomez, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa. All of those names have been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield.
However, thereâs also no shortage on names being linked with a move to Anfield.
Who Could Arrive?
RB Leipzigâs Yan Diomande and PSGâs Bradley Barcola have been two names on Liverpoolâs radar, according to recent reports.
However, Mark Douglas of iNews has confirmed Liverpoolâs interest in another forward that hasnât been spoke about too much.
âThey [Liverpool] are prepared to commit up to ÂŁ75m to sign RB Leipzigâs Yan Diomande, with Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain another possible target,â said Douglas.
âAntonio Nusa, who primarily plays on the left, is another on Liverpoolâs radar.â
The 21-year-old has been on the radar of many top European clubs since his breakthrough at Club Brugge. Although clearly talented, his numbers are yet to reach the level of a forward ready to operate in Liverpoolâs front line.

Diomande or Nusa?
Since his move to RB Leipzig, he has managed just ten goals and eleven assists in 62 appearances for the German side.
His teammate, Yan Diomande, has managed thirteen goals and nine assists in his first season since his ÂŁ18m move from Leganes.
Diomande is also two years younger than Nusa, whilst already showing better output. On one hand, thatâs damning on Nusa but you could also argue that the Ivorian is less proven.
To spend ÂŁ75m on Diomande after one breakthrough season would be a huge gamble and perhaps Nusa could offer a more cost-effective alternative.
