Liverpool have identified RB Leipzig's 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande as their primary transfer target for the upcoming summer window. According to reports from The Athletic's David Ornstein, the club is seeking a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is set to depart the team.
Diomande has enjoyed a breakout season in the Bundesliga, contributing 13 goals and 10 assists across 36 appearances. His form has attracted interest from several European giants, including PSG, creating significant competition for his signature.
For the Anfield side, the move is a key strategic priority as they look to refresh their attacking options. The feasibility of the transfer will likely depend on the club's ability to maintain their spot in the Champions League.
While RB Leipzig are reluctant to let their star talent go, they are reportedly open to negotiations for a fee in excess of €100 million. The German club is keen to retain the player for at least one more season, particularly following their qualification for the 2026/27 European campaign.
