So, to reiterate: Yan Diomande will remain a Leipzig player."Yan Diomande of Ivory Coast and RB Leipzig(Image: Terence Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)29th Jun16:11 BSTLiverpool to 'go to war' for wingerLiverpool are said to be ready to engage in a "bidding war" for Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi with Manchester City and Arsenal.Bouaddi has caught the eye this summer following a series of impressive performances for his country at the World Cup.The 18-year-old, who currently plays for French side Lille, has been valued at around £70million and according to AS, Liverpool have already made contact over a potential move.29th Jun15:40 BSTYan Diomande team-mate 'attracting interest'While it doesn't look like Yan Diomande will be headed to Liverpool any time soon, there are reports that the Reds are interested in his international team-mate, Bazoumana Toure.TEAMtalk reported last month that the Reds had registered their interest in the Ivory Coast star, who enjoyed a stellar season with Hoffenheim during the 2025/26 campaign, scoring five goals and assisting 12.However, with Liverpool being linked with what seems to be every winger on the planet right now, it's perhaps wise to take some links with a pinch of salt.29th Jun14:56 BSTVan Dijk down but far from outDespite any scrutiny that may have come his way earlier this seasonm Virgil van Dijk continues to prove his quality at the elite level.The Dutchman has just completed the group stage at World Cup 2026 having played every minute, just as he did during the Premier League campaign.As the ECHO's Ian Doyle has written here, it's a phenomenal achievement that shouldn't be understated as the defender enters what could possibly be his last season at Anfield.(Image: Getty Images)29th Jun14:54 BSTPrem icon responds to Klopp's World Cup commentsEx-Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has sought to settle any tensions that may have erupted between him and Jurgen Klopp at the World Cup.The miniature saga started after Van der Vaart compared compatriot Virgil van Dijk to a Boeing 747 plane following the Netherlands' 2-2 draw with Japan.

Getting these types of quality players who've been there, seen it and done it is only going to lift them to the next level and it's something that they need because the last two seasons just haven't been good enough."Cody Gakpo has been the subject of transfer speculation(Image: Grzegorz Wajda/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)29th Jun08:05 BSTCamavinga contact madeLiverpool's pursuit of Eduardo Camavinga appears to be trending in the right direction after the Reds purportedly opened talks for his signature.Los Blancos are seemingly open to selling the Frenchman, said to be valued at £52million, this summer after a difficult season at the Bernabeu.And Mundo Deportivo reported the Reds have made contact over a deal as they look to add more depth in midfield.Camavinga himself isn't understood to be keen on a move and is doing all he can to convince Jose Mourinho to give him a chance this coming campaign.However, Liverpool appear lined up as one of the interested parties ready to capitalise if Los Blancos do cash in.(Image: Getty Images)29th Jun08:05 BSTPSG open Diomande talksIn a worrying development for Liverpool fans, PSG are getting serious in their pursuit of Yan Diomande, who wants the move to France.One of the few clubs linked to the Ivory Coast winger who could boast more pulling power than the Reds, it's emerged the back-to-back Champions League winners are seemingly now in the lead for his signature.Sky Sports News has reported Diomande's preference to move to the Parc des Princes, where he allegedly has a five-year contract already agreed.PSG and RB Leipzig are still yet to come to terms, however, and gazumping Les Parisiens with a largely fee in the bidding war could be Liverpool's best gambit of beating them to the punch for arguably the most desirable name on the market this summer.(Image: Getty Images)
