Incredible news: Richard Hughes has chosen Liverpool's next €100m signing Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has reportedly chosen the club's next €100m signing. It's a big one. Richard Hughes opted against major signings in his first summer in charge at Liverpool but that all changed in year two.

The Reds' sporting director twice broke their transfer record with a pair of €100m+ arrivals. Liverpool had never signed a nine-figure player before. Florian Wirtz became the first in club history and then that figure was beaten with Alexander Isak's subsequent signing.

And now it seems Liverpool have found their next one. Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg claims that Yan Diomande has been made the club's no. 1 priority target this summer.

Diomande, who only joined RB Leipzig at the start of the season, has had a remarkable debut campaign in the Bundesliga. Enough so that his value has reportedly sky rocketed all the way to €100m . Leipzig don't actually have any reason to sell Diomande and if that's their valuation, you can bet on them holding potential buyers to it.
