Liverpool give RB Leipzig answer over eye-watering €100m Yan Diomande deal Liverpool are moving on from Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian King, 33, will leave the club at the end of the current season. Having signed a £400k per week, two-year contract extension last year it was expected that Salah would bow out in 2027.
But owing to a disagreement with Arne Slot a decision has been taken to rip up his deal a year ahead of schedule. That puts Salah in full control over his next move - and leaves Liverpool searching for a replacement in the short term. Arne Slot is prioritising one-v-one quality out wide for the summer transfer window - and we could see improvements made on either side of the attack.
Bazoumana Toure and Bradley Barcola are two names frequently linked with a move to the Premier League champions. Liverpool doing due diligence on Diomande But right now one name stands out above all others and if a deal can be done then Liverpool will be right there for Yan Diomande’s signature . The Ivorian superstar has been at RB Leipzig since summer 2025 - joining from Spanish side Leganes for only £18m.
The 19-year-old has taken to life in the Bundesliga with relish - scoring 12 goals and emerging on the transfer radar for several top European clubs. With Diomande under contract until 2030 Leipzig will be confident of extracting a mammoth fee for the winger - who can play either side of the frontline. Leipzig bosses see Diomande as a €100m (£87m) player - and haven’t ruled out keeping the African star for another season.
