Liverpool<\/a> are stepping up their planning ahead of what could prove to be a pivotal summer transfer window at Anfield.<\/p>\n

With uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah<\/a>\u2019s long-term future at the club, the Reds are assessing potential successors.<\/p>\n

And now, they have learned how much it will take to sign one of the emerging names on Arne Slot’s radar.<\/p>\n

What’s the latest on Liverpool’s interest in Yan Diomande<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Liverpool are preparing to enter the race for RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande following an explosive breakthrough season.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old winger has enjoyed a prolific campaign in Germany, quickly establishing himself as one of Europe\u2019s most exciting teenage attackers.<\/p>\n

Leipzig have since seen Diomande\u2019s stock quickly rise after his Bundesliga performances and impact on the international stage with the Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Liverpool scouts have also been in attendance in recent matches, underlining growing interest from the Merseyside giants.<\/p>\n

The likes of Manchester United, Chelsea<\/a> and Bayern Munich have also been tracking<\/a><\/strong> the young rising star, while Slot is believed to admire his versatility and direct attacking style, which perfectly fits his tactical style.<\/p>\n

How much will Liverpool have to pay to sign Yan Diomande this summer?<\/p>\n

It has now been claimed that Leipzig have placed a value of at least \u00a380 million on Diomande ahead of the summer transfer window, as per talkSPORT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An extortionate figure for a teenager, but one that reflects both his long-term potential as well as his output for club and country this season.<\/p>\n

However, that price could drop if the Bundesliga side fails to secure Champions League qualification, with the club currently sitting in fifth place.<\/p>\n

Why Yan Diomande is the ‘prolific’ Mo Salah successor Liverpool needs<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Diomande has scored 12 goals this season for both Leipzig and the Ivory Coast, including an impressive strike at the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

His pace, direct dribbling and eye for goal could draw natural comparisons to Mohamed Salah and with the 33-year-old continuing to attract interest from Saudi Arabia, it’s clear the Reds are preparing for life without him.<\/p>\n

At just 19 years of age, Diomande represents a potential short-term solution and long-term investment with plenty of upside, so if Liverpool are willing to meet the demands, then Slot could well secure an ideal successor for Salah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are stepping up their planning ahead of what could prove to be a pivotal summer transfer window…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":773237,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[4230,68644,94,707,2826,22138,7126,101,4151,93,79,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-773236","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-epl","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-golf","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-olympics","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-rugby","17":"tag-sport","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-sports-mole","20":"tag-teams","21":"tag-tennis","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116093269463970888","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773236"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773236\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
