Liverpool are eyeing an ÂŁ85million attacker, according to a top source, while one of their own star men has an âagreement on everythingâ to join a Premier League rival.
The Reds are almost certain to make changes to their side over the summer, and thatâs with good reason. Theyâre only playing for Champions League qualification now, firmly sitting in fifth after their chances of defending the Premier League title dissipated months ago.
With Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson definitely leaving and more potentially being shown the door, itâs the perfect time for a refresh.
Interest in ÂŁ85m man confirmed
Finding a replacement for Salah is a must, with the Egyptian winger taking with him 257 Liverpool goals and 122 assists.
There have long been reports on the Redsâ interest in Yan Diomande, the ÂŁ85million RB Leipzig winger, and that interest has been confirmed by top Liverpool source Paul Joyce.
The journalist has stated that the club are assessing options to bolster the front line, knowing Hugo Ekitike could be out for a chunk of next season, and Diomande is one of the names being looked at.
Leipzig are expected to demand the full ÂŁ85million once Liverpool have opened talks for the transfer.

Robertson has full Tottenham agreement
Itâs known that Scottish left-back Robertsonâs Liverpool career will end at the conclusion of the season, as heâs confirmed heâll be departing when his current deal is up.
The assumption has been that heâs going to join Tottenham, and insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed thatâs the case.
He said: âOne player you already knew, I told you, is Andy Robertson, the Scottish left-back who is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season on a free transfer and is set to join Tottenham if they stay up in Premier League because, according to my information, there is already, in this case, an agreement on everything between Robertson and Tottenham, depending on Premier League status, and so thatâs going to be a crucial step.â
TEAMtalk sources have previously stated that Robertson and Spurs have reiterated an agreement which was made in January.
Nicol backs Iraola for Liverpool job
Elsewhere, former Liverpool man Steve Nicol has backed departing Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, not fellow Spaniard Xabi Slonso, for the Reds job if Arne Slot is sacked.
He said: âI like Iraola. I like the way his Bournemouth play the game.
âUnder normal circumstances I wouldâve said Alonso. But he absolutely bombed at Real Madrid and you have to take that into consideration.
âHowever, I donât think that FSG, if Arne Slot is not going to be there at the start of the season, I donât see how FSG donât go with Alonso. So, Iâm going to go Alonso I think, ultimately.
âIf something happened with Alonso and he didnât want it, or they werenât keen with what happened at Real Madrid, Iâd have absolutely no problem with Andoni Iraola next season.â
