Manchester United is also said to be a fan of the midfielder, with the Red Devils likely to be in the market for multiple new midfielders following Casemiro's exit.TEAMtalk says that Liverpool has made direct contact with Camavinga's camp over the possibility of him moving to Anfield.
The Athletic reports that Madrid is willing to sell Camavinga this summer as it focuses on bringing Enzo Fernandez to the Bernabeu from Chelsea.Liverpool's midfield looked leggy at times this season, and recruiting an athletic option like the $57 million-reated Camavinga to play alongside Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai would give Iraola's squad plenty of energy.Meanwhile, Liverpool continues to be linked with a swoop for RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast star Yan Diomande, as the Reds aim to replace Mohamed Salah.It has been obvious for months that the Reds are in dire need of more pace and quality in wide areas ahead of next season.Eduardo Camavinga has been linked with a transfer to Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Florencia Tan Jun - UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images))Spanish winger Victor Munoz became the first signing of the Andoni Iraola era last week, and he won't be the last, with Diomande the Reds' top target on the right flank.Liverpool has already made it known to RB Leipzig that it would be willing to pay a package worth around €100 million ($115 million/£85 million) for Diomande.Diomande is clearly a major talent, as he has shown at this summer's World Cup with Ivory Coast. He was a strong performer against Ecuador on matchday one, and then created his side's goal against Germany by showcasing his blistering pace to stand up and beat Joshua Kimmich.At club level, after arriving at Leipzig from Leganes a year ago, the Ivorian scored 13 goals and assisted another 10 in all competitions.Liverpool may have to wait until after Diomande's participation in the World Cup has concluded to continue with its attempt to sign the youngster, as his full focus is now on trying to help Ivory Coast to go as far as possible in the tournament.Ivory Coast faces Ecuador on Thursday, and a draw would guarantee a place in the last 32 for Diomande and his teammates.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfers
