Liverpool's pursuit of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as a successor to Mohamed Salah is on the brink of collapse. This summer, the Reds sought to bolster their squad following Salah's announcement to leave at the season's end, allowing fans to bid farewell to the Egyptian superstar. Salah's current season has seen him struggle with just seven goals and six assists in 25 league matches, a stark contrast to his impressive 29 goals and 18 assists last term.
Reports indicated that Liverpool's management had approved a deal for Diomande, positioning him as the club's top target. However, negotiations have stalled, with RB Leipzig aiming to extend Diomande's contract and increase his salary. Christian Falk has reported that Diomande is likely to remain at Leipzig for another year, as discussions for a contract extension gain traction.
Competing interests from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich further complicate the situation, with both clubs vying for the talented 19-year-old Ivory Coast international. Fabrizio Romano confirms that multiple clubs are actively pursuing Diomande, but the decision ultimately lies with the player as he weighs his options this summer. Liverpool's hopes of securing Diomande may be fading as the transfer window approaches.
