On his “Here We Go” podcast, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the battle between Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain for RB Leipzig’s 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande.
“Diomande is probably one of the most exciting and electrifying wingers on the market.”
“Now, it’s difficult to find players who can be young, talented [good in] one-v-one, fast, score, deliver assists… it’s very difficult.”
“He’s wanted by Liverpool and PSG. Both clubs are still in the mix. Liverpool are really pushing and really insisting
to make it happen. For Liverpool, he’s a top, top priority. They are offering important money to the player to get it done. On the other side, PSG are also keen but it depends on what happens Bradley Barcola, Goncalo Ramos and Kang-in Lee. There are players that have to leave at PSG, while at Liverpool they’ve already made space with Mo Salah leaving and more players.”
It makes a lot of sense why Liverpool are trying to seal this deal now, with PSG potentially offloading players to boost their position. Diomande’s value could also go even higher with a good display at the World Cup. The Reds need wingers, and there’s a dearth of right-wingers on the market, which explains why this seems to be the priority of the window so far.
