Liverpool comes back for Yan Diomande

Liverpool is not giving up on Yan Diomande. After their initial attempt fell short, the English club has reportedly reopened talks with a fresh bid for RB Leipzig's young striker.

According to reports, the Reds had already made a first approach with an offer of around €90 million, including bonuses. However, this proposal did not convince the German club, which values their player even higher. After this rejection, Liverpool is said to have returned with a second offer, though the exact amount remains undisclosed. The English side is eager to move quickly, hoping to seal the deal before other European giants step in.

Their latest offer is approaching €100m, while RB Leipzig are now saying they want €130m. I think there’s a fair chance the parties meet halfway and this deal gets done. pic.twitter.com/tciD3LHMP1

Leipzig, for their part, have no intention of letting their 19-year-old star go cheaply and are reportedly holding out for at least €120 million to consider a transfer. Paris Saint-Germain and other major clubs are also said to be monitoring the situation, which could drive the bidding war even higher in this fiercely contested pursuit.
