Liverpool has reached out to RB Leipzig regarding a possible transfer for winger Yan Diomande. According to David Ornstein, the club is considered to be in the strongest position to secure the 19-year-old, who has also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain. Diomande reportedly expressed a long-standing admiration for PSG, but he remains open to negotiations. Leipzig is firm on not selling the player unless an offer of at least £112.5 million is made, with Liverpool hesitant to meet such a high asking price. The Reds may explore including a current player in a deal to lower the financial burden. Diomande, under contract until 2030, could address Liverpool's need for pace in wide positions.
