That's not a topic for us at all.

He will play an important role for FC Bayern this season again.”Michael Olise celebrates scoring a goal for Bayern Munich(Image: Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images)Today08:42 BSTVinicius offered to RedsVinicius Jr has emerged as a potential addition at Anfield after reportedly being offered to Liverpool.The Brazilian's future at the Santiago Bernabeu is up for debate suddenly after entering the final year of his contract.Vinicius, 26, has been offered fresh terms to remain in Madrid, reportedly valued at £17million per year, which works out at a little more than £320,000 a week. However, it's alleged he's holding out for more.Arsenal are seriously interested in the left-sided star and could mount a challenge for his signature.Liverpool have already added Victor Munoz as a left-sided option this summer and need someone to fill Salah's void on the right, though that's unlikely to be Vinicius.Vinicius Junior file photo(Image: PA Wire)Today08:42 BSTReal register Diomande bidIt should be of slight concern to those at Liverpool that Real Madrid are now in the race for Yan Diomande.Not only that but The Athletic has reported Los Blancos are locked in talks with RB Leipzig in their attempts to secure a deal.PSG are still interested in the player, with the feeling mutual given the Parc des Princes is Diomande's preferred destination.Given the fact he's already played in Spain with Leganes and it already feels like Liverpool are at an even more significant disadvantage in the hunt for one of their top targets.It now looks as though Liverpool's best chance of signing the 19-year-old would be to blow their competition out of the water entirely with an offer closer to Leipzig's £116million valuation, though that isn't their preference either.(Image: Getty Images)
