Liverpool meet with agents ahead of €100m mega deal Liverpool have reportedly met with one star's agents ahead of a potential €100m mega deal. Bild reports that Liverpool have met with the agency representing Yan Diomande. That's ROC Nation, who Diomande joined earlier this season in what was taken as evidence that he could move on from RB Leipzig after just a season.

Liverpool certainly hope that's the case. They've discussed a potential deal for Diomande, though no contact has been made with Leipzig as of yet. It's also important to note that they're not the only team to have done this: Paris Saint-Germain have also held talks.

At this stage, it does appear that these are the two heavyweights willing to battle for Diomande. Leipzig will demand around €100m for their star asset, signed just a year ago from Leganes. Liverpool are eager to sign a new winger, having lost Luis Diaz last summer without a replacement.

Mo Salah is now set to depart after this campaign, again leaving them short on wide players who can threaten goals. In other words, there's a clear place at Liverpool for Diomande. PSG will fancy creating a place for him, though, as Bradley Barcola has been linked with an exit.
