RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande has reportedly given his approval for a move to Anfield, despite concerns that the Reds could miss out on the star winger.
The 19-year-old Ivory Coast international is one of the most coveted young talents in Europe, having registered 13 goals and 10 assists in the Bundesliga this season, and is viewed by the hierarchy as the perfect replacement for the departing Mohamed Salah.
Despite the current Liverpool manager vacancy, transfer insiders report that Diomande is highly-tempted by the prospect of a move to the Premier League.
Liverpool have reportedly promised the winger an important, defined role in their squad next season – a commitment that rival suitors Paris Saint-Germain cannot guarantee due to their congested frontline.
While Leipzig are reluctant to sell and could demand a premium close to his £86 million release clause, Diomande’s desire to join provides Liverpool with a massive advantage.
