Liverpool will return with a massive new offer for No 1 winger target Yan Diomande after having their opening proposal rejected by RB Leipzig, according to a report.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> see Diomande as the perfect young winger to help them move on from Anfield icon Mohamed Salah, who has departed on a free transfer. Diomande is only 19 years old but is already a frightening dribbler and has world-class potential.<\/p>\n Clearly, the teenager will have to develop into a deadly finisher to get anywhere close to Salah\u2019s level, though Liverpool view him as one of the best young forwards in the world.<\/p>\n That is why Andoni Iraola\u2019s side offered a huge \u20ac100million (\u00a386m) for Diomande<\/a> recently. Many were under the impression \u20ac100m would be enough to get the deal done, only for Leipzig to stand firm.<\/p>\n Leipzig want to keep Diomande for at least one more season, resulting in some astronomical valuations. Reports have put Leipzig\u2019s demands at anywhere between \u20ac120-148m (\u00a3103.5-128m).<\/p>\n As per German outlet Bild\u00a0(via Sport Witness<\/a>), Liverpool\u2019s first offer was worth \u20ac80m plus \u20ac20m in add-ons, and they are\u00a0poised to launch an improved bid worth \u20ac100m plus \u20ac20m in bonuses.<\/p>\n Diomande\u2019s agents are pressuring Leipzig to accept Liverpool\u2019s increased proposal as they want their client to secure a blockbuster move to the Premier League.<\/p>\n However, Leipzig are expected to reject Liverpool\u2019s advances once again. Their sporting director, Marcel Schafer, has an \u2018agreement\u2019 with Red Bull chief and legendary former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp not to sell Diomande this summer.<\/p>\n But it will be interesting to see whether Liverpool hit a price that Leipzig deem silly to ignore.<\/p>\n Want more breaking news and transfer lines from original sources?
