Diomande made a £17m move to RB Leipzig 12 months ago but the Reds could've swooped in and triggered the winger's release clause at Leganes for a bargain fee.Currently, Diomande is valued at around £65m by Transfermarkt but the Reds may have had the opportunity to add the 19-year-old to their ranks a whole year earlier.Man City star signsLiverpool were interested in signing Marc Guehi while he was still Crystal Palace's captain. Pep Guardiola's side agreed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Guehi worth an initial £20m and the England international has become a crucial part of the team.But if the deadline day move had gone through for the defender, then Liverpool's season could've panned out very differently.

City dumped the Reds out of the FA Cup with Guehi at the heart of defence and went on to win the trophy against Chelsea.However, Liverpool may have gone further in domestic and European competition if they had added Guehi and other stars to their ranks.Where Liverpool could've beenLiverpool chiefs must be wondering 'what if' after their decisions failed to pay dividends. He scored 34 goals and provided 23 assists during Slot's title-winning debut and could've bowed out on a high last summer.This would've opened the door to Diomande, who has made 23 goal contributions as a teenage sensation at Leipzig.

His stats may have been even greater with the Reds, who were in need of a younger option out on the flank.Elliott reuniting with Klopp in Germany could have owed to a more productive season for the young midfielder and added to Liverpool's transfer kitty for incoming stars. While the 23-year-old did add a European trophy to his tally, he played just 277 minutes and scored one goal.Guehi's deadline-day signing would've likely proved a success given his impressive form at City.
