Liverpool has identified RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as a key summer transfer target to reinforce their attacking options, according to reports from The Athletic.
The Premier League club is preparing for the departure of Mohamed Salah.
The 19-year-old Ivory Coast international is also attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain, though the French club needs to offload players first.
Liverpool has established a favorable position with the player, but a deal depends on manager Arne Slot securing Champions League qualification.
Leipzig aims to retain Diomande for another season after qualifying for the 2026-27 Champions League. However, the Bundesliga side would consider offers exceeding €100 million.
Diomande enjoyed a breakthrough season with Leipzig, scoring 13 goals and providing 10 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.
He also earned a spot in Emerse Fae's Ivory Coast World Cup squad after scoring three goals in nine international matches.
The winger joined Leipzig from Leganes in July 2025 and has a contract until June 2030.
German football correspondent Seb Stafford Bloor noted that tracking data ranked Diomande as the fifth-fastest player in the Bundesliga this season.
Addressing transfer speculation earlier this month, Diomande said: "Imagine people say you go to Chelsea or Real Madrid to do this job… you’re going to be happy and motivated to do more.
I don’t think about it too much because my focus is on the pitch."
Liverpool previously invested around £450 million including add-ons in the transfer window 12 months ago, while generating £200 million from player sales.
The club is set to officially welcome defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes on July 1 in a deal worth £55 million plus potential bonuses.
