Liverpool intensifies bid for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande

Liverpool have placed a €100 million offer for 19‑year‑old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande, which RB Leipzig rejected. The English club is reportedly preparing a higher bid that could exceed €130 million after Diomande expressed a strong desire to leave. Leipzig, which sees the striker as a key asset, has indicated it may consider offers in that range, while Paris Saint‑Germain is also monitoring the situation.

Diomande, who logged 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 Bundesliga games, attracted attention by becoming the youngest player to record a direct goal contribution for the Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup, delivering an assist in a 2‑0 win over Curacao. Liverpool view him as a potential long‑term replacement for Mohamed Salah and have made his signing a priority in the summer 2026 transfer window.
