Liverpool don finally make big move for Yan Diomande, the young winger wey dey tear Bundesliga for RB Leipzig. According to reports wey come from Spain, the Reds don reach “full agreement” with the 19-year-old Ivory Coast star for personal terms. This one mean say Diomande don accept the offer wey Liverpool give am, and e dey happy for the chance to join Premier League.
Mohamed Salah go soon leave Liverpool after this season end, and the club don dey find person wey fit replace am. Diomande na one of the top targets, and e dey show say Liverpool serious about this matter. The boy dey play well well for Leipzig, and e don make the club put price tag of €100m for im head. That one na around £87m for our money.
But the deal no finish yet. RB Leipzig still get the final say, and dem no dey rush to sell Diomande. The boy contract go dey until 2030, and no release clause dey inside. Leipzig people dey try make Diomande stay one more season, but dem still dey expect big offers from clubs like Liverpool.
Philipp Hinze, one reporter wey sabi Leipzig matter, talk say the German club dey stand firm for the €100m price. “Leipzig remain firm: the price tag stays at €100m or more,” Hinze write for X. “They want to keep Diomande, but know it will be extremely difficult.”
Even with the big money wey dey involve, Liverpool no dey fear. Sources tell TEAMtalk say the nine-figure asking price no go stop Liverpool from making serious bid. And now say personal terms don agree, the Reds dey closer to get Salah successor.
If Diomande finally join Liverpool, e go become the third most expensive signing for the club history. Only Alexander Isak (£125m) and Florian Wirtz (£116m) go pass am for price. Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany confirm say Diomande dey high high for Liverpool wish list.
Other clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur dey watch Diomande too, but reports show say Liverpool na the strongest Premier League contender for the winger. FlashScore talk say the €100m price “would be out of reach” for Manchester United, wey dey focus more on signing midfielder this summer.
Some people don suggest swap deal with Cody Gakpo going to Leipzig, but Christian Falk don talk say no truth dey there. “Leipzig wouldn’t make this swap deal because he’s too expensive,” Falk explain. “They have another profile, they’re searching for younger players who can develop.”
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig dey already look for person wey fit replace Diomande if e leave. Reports show say dem dey watch Chuki, 21-year-old talent from Real Valladolid wey get 15 goal contributions this season. But Juventus, Villarreal, Como 1907 and Betis Sevilla dey also interested for the Spanish player.
For Liverpool side, the club dey expect to sign two new wingers this summer to add more pace and dynamism. Diomande na right-footer wey fit play different positions for attack, and e don show quality for Bundesliga despite im young age.
The transfer market dey hot, and Liverpool fans dey wait to see if their club go break bank for this young talent. With Salah era coming to end, the pressure dey on to find worthy replacement wey fit carry the team forward.
