Liverpool targets €100m Yan Diomande as Salah plans departure

Summary

Liverpool is contemplating a major overhaul of their forward line this summer as they prepare for the exit of Mohamed Salah, who will leave on a free transfer. The club is interested in 19-year-old forward Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, but faces competition from Paris Saint-Germain. As Diomande is focused on the upcoming FIFA World Cup, no talks have occurred yet, and any transfer decisions are expected only after the tournament's conclusion on June 25. Liverpool's new head coach, Andoni Iraola, will prioritize finding a wide attacker with one-v-one abilities amid these changes.
