£85m Yan Diomande to Liverpool deal gets extraordinary green light Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are going back to the drawing board. The Premier League champions have got no chance of winning any silverware this season - fighting it out just for a place in the Champions League placings. Their disappointment comes on the back of spending £450m in last summer’s transfer window.
But those adjustments have brought no uplift in fortune - with new signings like Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and now Hugo Ekitike all cursed by injury. The Anfield side will need to draw up plans for next season - including fortifying the wings with Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa set to leave. The injury to Ekitike could take up to a year to heal - and his absence means Arne Slot is once again short of attackers.
Liverpool watching Yan Diomande Adding a versatile and dangerous forward would go some way towards addressing Liverpool’s current problems. There simply isn’t enough one-v-one pace and quality out wide - and that is a deficiency decision-makers on Merseyside will be seeking to address. One solution would be to add Yan Diomande , 19, on a deal from RB Leipzig.
The young Ivorian has been in imperious form during his first Bundesliga season - signing for only £18m from Leganes last summer. The Red Bulls have got the winger signed up on a contract until 2030 - putting them in total control of his transfer destiny. Paul Joyce gives Yan Diomande transfer green light Liverpool have long been linked with a move for the Ivory Coast international while Red Bull are reported to be seeking €100m in any transfer deal.
