Liverpool get answer in transfer talks for £87m Yan Diomande deal

Liverpool have got Yan Diomande in their sights as the No1 target in the summer transfer window.

That’s according to a new report in TEAMtalk but the Premier League champions could be frustrated in their chase for the teenage sensation.

RB Leipzig signed Diomande last summer from Leganes for a bargain £18m and he has already developed into a player worth £87m according to various reports.

The young Ivorian has enjoyed a sensational breakthrough season in German football - putting himself top of Liverpool’s recruitment shortlist.

Liverpool in talks for Diomande

The report claims talks have happened in recent days between all parties - but Leipzig may well insist on making Liverpool wait.

Their plans include tying Diomande down to a new deal before considering a sale in summer 2027 - when they believe his value will be even higher.

“Liverpool have stepped up their efforts to secure a deal for winger Yan Diomande, with further contacts made in recent days – but RB Leipzig’s stance on a sale this summer could yet force the Reds to bide their time over the third biggest deal in their history,” the report reads.
