It was reported earlier this week that Diomande's camp was applying pressure on Leipzig to accept Liverpool's offer for the young winger.Liverpool is willing to pay €100 million ($113 million) plus €20 million ($23 million) in add-ons to sign Diomande, and although Leipzig wants to wait until after the World Cup to see if it is possible to attain a bigger fee, Bild said that Roc Nation – the agency that represents Diomande – was pressuring Leipzig to accept Liverpool's proposal.Diomande seemingly dealt a blow to the Reds' chances of signing him earlier this month, after declaring that he has "loved" Paris Saint-Germain since he was a child and added that it would be a "pleasure" for him to join the club.Diomande said: "Paris Saint-Germain is a team I’ve loved since I was a child. My father supports Paris Saint-Germain, and it’s a team I admire as a football fan."It would be a pleasure for me to come and play at Paris with one of the biggest clubs...

Interestingly, Diomande previously said that his father was a Liverpool fan."I want to play at Anfield, I want to play for Liverpool," Diomande said earlier this year. "I’m a big fan of Liverpool.

I’m a big fan of Liverpool because my father’s dream is to see me play at Anfield. So that’s my dream."You know, to fulfil my father’s dream is a dream for me too.”Diomande later slightly rowed back on those comments about his steadfast desire to play for Liverpool, although he did maintain that it was his dad's dream for him to play at Anfield.Diomande registered 13 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for Leipzig this season after joining the Bundesliga club from Leganes in 2025.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCYan DiomandeTransfers
