Liverpool and Chelsea ready to pay over €60m Barcelona target who idolises the Reds

Liverpool and Chelsea continue to be linked with Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig.

The 19-year-old has been excellent in the Bundesliga, and he is on the radar of multiple clubs this summer. Spanish Champions Barcelona are also monitoring his situation. It remains to be seen whether they decide to make an approach for him in the summer.

Yan Diomande is a player in demand

According to a report from SPORT via SportWitness, the player could cost around €70 million. The two Premier League clubs are prepared to offer over €60 million to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether Barcelona can match that. The report claims that Barcelona are facing financial constraints and will only be able to afford the 19-year-old African winger if they sell any of their existing attackers.

Financially, the Premier League clubs are clearly well placed to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen where Diomande ends up. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could develop into a star in future.

The move to the Premier League could be the ideal next step in his career. He has shown his quality in the Bundesliga, and he has the technical attributes to make an immediate impact in England as well.

Diomande could improve Liverpool and Chelsea

Liverpool and Chelsea need more pace and unpredictability in the final third. The 19-year-old could be the ideal investment for them. He has 19 goal contributions this season, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

The 19-year-old has previously admitted that he would love to play for Liverpool in future. He is a boyhood Liverpool fan, and his father dreams of watching him play for the Premier League champions. The Reds might have an advantage in the race for his signature.

Diomande is also a target for Arsenal.

Sources: Arsenal have advantage over Liverpool in €100m-plus transfer battle

Arsenal have been linked with Yan Diomande and my understanding is that they’d have the edge over Liverpool in the race for his signature.

Having reached out to a number of sources close to the situation, I can reveal that Champions League football is considered a must for Diomande when it comes to deciding his future.

The Ivory Coast international is yet to decide on his future, and he could even sign a new deal with Leipzig, as they remain in contention for Champions League qualification.

Liverpool, by contrast, currently face an uphill battle to get into Europe’s top club competition next season, so could fall behind in the race for Diomande.

Arsenal register interest in Yan Diomande

Liverpool have been strongly linked with Diomande for some time now, but I’m now also aware that the Gunners have registered an interest.

“Arsenal have reached out to those around Diomande to be kept informed over his future,” one source said. “That doesn’t mean a bid or an offer is imminent or definitely going to happen, but it’s a position they’re looking to strengthen and he’s appreciated by their recruitment team.”

Diomande is Liverpool’s preferred Salah replacement, but the reality is that they’ll struggle to get him without Champions League football, and there is a huge amount of interest from all over Europe, with Arsenal very much in the race,” another source added.

Yan Diomande transfer looks ideal to add spark to stale Arsenal attack

Arsenal have had a strange season as they sit top of the Premier League table without really looking that convincing with their performances, particularly in attack.

Mikel Arteta’s side often get results through a strong defensive set-up and a threat from set-pieces, but someone like Diomande could help turn them into much more of a threat in attack.

The talented 19-year-old has an impressive return of 11 goals and six assists this season, and that could make him an upgrade on the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

Arsenal fans will hope there will be more emphasis on creativity and flair next season, with Arteta’s tactics this season not really in keeping with the club’s traditions.

AFC were always great entertainers under Arsene Wenger and even if some tactical tweaking has been useful to improve results, there have also been times this season when it looks like it’s cost the team.

Yan Diomande is reportedly discussing a new contract with RB Leipzig as they’re set to offer him a huge pay rise to stay at least one more season.

The 19-year-old is really making waves this term, attracting interest from the likes of Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, according to Fabrizio Romano.

What next for Yan Diomande?

Diomande faces an important summer as he’ll no doubt be tempted to jump at the chance to join a big club like Liverpool.

The Reds need a long-term replacement for departing club legend Mohamed Salah, so this could be a signing that suits everyone.

At the same time, however, Diomande needs to be careful not to rush into a big move too soon, and it could be that staying at Leipzig for a bit longer would be the best thing for his development.

Leipzig have often sold their star players for big money, so one imagines Diomande won’t be there for the long term, but one more season could be better for him to gain a bit more experience before the challenge of replacing someone like Salah at Liverpool.

It would be exciting to see Diomande in the Premier League at some point, but if Liverpool don’t get him this summer then it will surely only become a more competitive race for his signature in future.
