Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement with Yan Diomande’s camp to bring him to Anfield.
Widespread reports week confirmed that Liverpool tabled a huge first offer worth around €100m, structured as roughly €90m guaranteed plus a further €10m in achievable add‑ons to tempt RB Leipzig into doing business.
However, the Bundesliga club declined. Leipzig are making it clear they expect a package nearer €120m before they’ll even consider approving a sale.
But there does seem to be progress at the very least if reports in France are to be believed.
Now according to a report from Media Foot, it is claimed the agreement is already set on his personal terms:
“Liverpool/Diomande agreement!”
“After a first round of observation and discussions, Liverpool and PSG are set. According to our sources, an agreement exists between the English club and the Diomande clan. All that remains is for the directors to convince Leipzig for the amount of the transfer.”
“All that remains is for the directors to convince Leipzig for the amount of the transfer.”
Meanwhile, DaveOCKOP.com exclusively reported last week that the Reds are expected to return to Leipzig with an improved bid of €115M for Yan Diomande.
Diomande, who is on the books of Jay‑Z’s Roc Nation Sports, is thought to be in line for a deal worth around £180,000 per week.
Liverpool have clearly had encouraging noises from his camp too, with the Reds highly unlikely to launch a bid of this size without firm assurances from his side.
The 19-year-old has lit up the 2026 World Cup with Ivory Coast, producing a man‑of‑the‑match display in their opening‑game win over Ecuador and providing an assist in his nation’s 2-1 defeat to Germany.
It remains to be seen if other, more reliable outlets or journalists confirm the Media Foot report, but there is certainly rarely smoke without fire.
