Liverpool Step Up Diomandé Pursuit as Salah Rift Triggers January Planning

Reports indicate Liverpool are pursuing Leipzig’s Yan Diomandé following Salah’s public outburst.

Overview

  • Sky’s Sacha Tavolieri, via GiveMeSport, reports Liverpool are in “very advanced” talks to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomandé, with the timeframe of any deal still uncertain.
  • TEAMtalk says Liverpool’s scouting group has urged a January move and that a club delegation watched Diomandé score a Bundesliga hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt.
  • Leipzig hold leverage with a contract to 2030 and no release clause, and multiple reports place a potential fee in the €80m–€100m range while the club is described as reluctant to sell now.
  • CaughtOffside reports extensive competition for the 19-year-old from top Premier League sides and European giants including Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.
  • After benchings and his claim he was “thrown under the bus,” Fabrizio Romano says internal talks could see Salah omitted from the Inter trip, with The Sun reporting Al-Hilal preparing a renewed January offer.
