Liverpool are in talks over a deal to sign star forward Yan Diomande this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Reds<\/a> had a disappointing campaign in the Premier League<\/a> and Champions League<\/a>, finishing fifth in the top flight after conceding a record number of goals and losing 13 games, while they were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals by Paris Saint-Germain, losing both legs of the tie.<\/p>\n

The Anfield club are now planning major upgrades during the summer transfer window as they look to replenish their squad, and talks have begun for their first big signing.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Open Talks for Yan Diomande<\/p>\n

\"Yan<\/p>\n

Diomande, who has been described as ‘lethal’<\/a>, has been one of the breakout stars of the 2025\/26 season with RB Leipzig, registering 13 goals and eight assists in all competitions in his first season with the club.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old has emerged as one of the most sought-after attackers in Europe ahead of the transfer window, and the Bundesliga club have slapped an \u00a387m asking price on his head as a result, while they have also offered the Ivorian a new contract to boost his wages and include a release clause, in order to keep hold of him for another season.<\/p>\n

But Liverpool are keen to get a deal done to bring him to Merseyside as they search for long-term replacements for Mohamed Salah, and they have now opened talks with the player’s camp to find an agreement.<\/p>\n

Diomande has previously revealed that it is his dream to move to Anfield<\/a>, having grown up as a Liverpool fan, but the club are also looking at alternative options just in case a deal cannot be done.<\/p>\n

Paris Saint-Germain also have a strong interest in Diomande, and have also opened talks over a deal.<\/p>\n

Diomande a Legend in the Making<\/p>\n

\"Yan<\/p>\n

While it may be early in the career of Diomande, he has all the attributes and quality to become a true legend at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Liverpool fans love having tricky wingers who can get them off the edge of their seat and provide excitement, and Diomande is someone who can do just that, and more.<\/p>\n

The massive transfer fee may prove to be a bit of a hurdle, but the club showed last summer that they are not afraid to splash the cash if they feel it’s the right thing to do. Diomande would be the spark this squad needs, and it could be a huge statement signing this summer.<\/p>\n
