Liverpool are set to make a new offer to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande after their first bid was rejected, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Reds have made signing a new top-class winger their priority in the summer transfer window with Mohamed Salah set to leave Anfield soon.<\/p>\n
Cody Gakpo also struggled to produce good performances last season and now Ivory Coast international Diomande has been made their top target.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> had their first bid for Diomande, worth around \u20ac100m, rejected earlier this week as Leipzig look to hang onto the Ivorian for another season.<\/p>\n Giving details of the offer earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano said: \u201cYan Diomande, an official bid was sent today by Liverpool.<\/p>\n \u201cMy understanding is that the bid was worth \u20ac90 million plus \u20ac10m in add\u2011ons, so this is the package.<\/p>\n READ: Who are the highest-scoring clubs at the 2026 World Cup?

RB Leipzig are not accepting \u20ac100m for Yan Diomande \u2013 this is the position of the club.\u201d<\/p>\n Italian journalist Nicolo Schira has now claimed that Liverpool are \u2018set to submit a new offer\u2019 with Leipzig possibly holding out for as much as \u20ac130m.<\/p>\n Schira wrote on X<\/a>: \u2018Excl. \u2013 Yan #Diomande is still #Liverpool\u2019s main target as winger. #Leipzig ask \u20ac120-130M to sell the wonderkid and had already turned down #LFC\u2019s first bid (around \u20ac100M). #Reds are set to submit a new offer to try to sign Diomande. Ready for him a contract until 2032.\u2019<\/p>\n Despite having their first bid rejected, our friends at TEAMtalk are claiming that<\/a> Liverpool are actually \u2018growing increasingly confident\u2019 that they will sign Diomande.<\/p>\n The report adds: \u2018The Reds believe Diomande is increasingly attracted by the prospect of becoming a central figure in Andoni Iraola\u2019s new-look Liverpool project and that conviction is helping drive their pursuit.<\/p>\n \u2018Nobody has invested more time in the player than Liverpool. The Merseyside giants have tracked Diomande extensively and maintained regular contact with his camp throughout the past year, making it clear just how highly they rate him.<\/p>\n \u2018Our sources indicate the player is fully aware of the work Liverpool have done behind the scenes and the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to bring him to Anfield.\u2019<\/p>\n Leipzig dream of keeping Yan Diomande \u2013 Romano<\/p>\n Romano has also brought his own fresh update on the situation with Leipzig attempting to sway his agents to accept a deal to stay one more season before pursuing a move elsewhere.<\/p>\n
