Liverpool remain keen on signing Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, according to a report from icfootballnews. The Reds are reportedly preparing for the possibility of losing star forward Mohamed Salah this summer, and Diomande has emerged as one of the leading candidates to bolster their attack should a replacement be required.
Diomande, who was strongly linked with a move away from Germany during the January transfer window, ultimately remained in the Bundesliga after Leipzig made it clear they were not willing to sell mid-season. His performances this campaign — marked by pace, incisive dribbling, and an ability to impact games from either flank — have only strengthened *LIVERPOOL*’s admiration.
With interest from Saudi Pro League clubs in Salah expected to be reignited this summer, Liverpool are taking proactive steps to avoid being left without a high-impact winger should their talisman depart.
The club’s recruitment department has been assessing profiles that match their tactical demands, and Diomande is viewed as a strong stylistic fit given his work rate, creativity, and goal threat.
Leipzig, however, are in a powerful negotiating position and are expected to demand in excess of £80 million for the 19-year-old. Their track record of selling young talents at premium prices — as seen with Christopher Nkunku and Josko Gvardiol — suggests that Liverpool would need to commit a significant investment to make the deal happen.
No formal offer has yet been submitted, but internal discussions at Anfield reportedly continue as the club maps out various scenarios for the summer transfer period. Liverpool’s desire to refresh their forward line, combined with the uncertainty surrounding Salah’s future, means Diomande will remain a player of strong interest in the months ahead.
Would Diomande be a good Salah replacement?
Pursuing Diomande is both ambitious and logical for LIVERPOOL. The winger possesses many of the attributes that have defined the club’s most successful attacking players under Aren Slot.
If Salah leaves, Liverpool must replace not just goals but influence — and few young attackers in Europe offer Diomande’s blend of potential and end product.
However, an £80m outlay on a player still early in his development carries risk. Liverpool’s recent success in the transfer market has come from balancing smart investment with strategic restraint.
While Diomande could become a long-term star at Anfield, the club must also weigh alternatives and ensure their summer business addresses multiple areas. If Salah departs, Diomande would be a statement signing.
