Sporting CP star Francisco Trincao is the latest name to be linked with a move to Liverpool as the club prepares to wave goodbye to Mohamed SalahLiverpool have reportedly turned their attention to Francisco Trincao after Yan Diomande revealed he expects to be playing for RB Leipzig next summer. However, when asked if he’ll remain at Leipzig for the 2026/27 campaign, he promptly replied: "Yes."Regarding speculation over his future, he then told German publication Kicker: “I’m not thinking about that right now.“I’m at Leipzig and I enjoy playing here.

It’s been a fantastic year for me.”Speaking towards the end of last month, Red Bull chief Oliver Mintzlaff made it clear that Diomande was not for sale this summer.He said: "I can say: If I were sporting director, I wouldn't sell this young player, who hasn't even completed a full season with us.“No matter what price is being asked. I believe he's a player who can still develop further, because he's still very young.

And he can certainly become more expensive."Before he added: “Of course, there are other clubs where players also want to take the next step – FC Bayern is one of them, but also clubs from England and Spain.“But we have to expect that a player, even if he delivers outstanding performances here, doesn't leave again after just one year.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
