New Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola is continuing his ambitious plans to rebuild the Reds squad ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season after securing a £34.5M deal to bring in Spain international Victor Munoz from Osasuna.
Iraola is reportedly keen to land at least one player from his old club Bournemouth – with El Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott both on his list of transfer targets – but Diomande is the thrilling name on the minds of Liverpool fans based on early summer rumours.
Despite Liverpool’s optimism of Diomande wanting to make the move to Anfield, the two clubs are still some distance apart in their valuations with Leipzig aiming to make a huge profit on the 19-year-old, who they signed from Spanish side Leganes for £17.3M last summer.
The Bundesliga giants have reportedly already rejected Liverpool's opening €100M offer and PSG are also considering a bid which could trigger a price war that Liverpool would prefer to avoid.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen to secure a huge signing this summer, as part of Jose Mourinho’s return to the club, and reports from Spanish outlet El Debate claim they are considering an offer based on Diomande’s form at the World Cup for Ivory Coast.
More interest in Diomande is perfect news for Leipzig, as they look to gain £125M+ from a sale, but Liverpool are hopeful they can stay below the Premier League record £125M they paid for Alexander Isak in 2026.
Fans will get their next glimpse of Diomande in the World Cup Round of 32 knockouts after Ivory Coast were paired with Norway on June 30.
