Transfer News: Liverpool are in advanced talks to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande this summer, with transfer news insider Fabrizio Romano confirming on 26 May 2026 that the Reds are actively engaging with the player’s representatives. Transfer news: Liverpool fight PSG for RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande Liverpool view Diomande as a direct replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is departing Anfield this summer, and the club values him at around €100 million.

The situation is complex because RB Leipzig have presented Diomande with a new contract offer that includes a release clause, placing themselves in a strong negotiating position over any outgoing fee. Transfer news battle: PSG add real pressure Should Liverpool fail to land Diomande and PSG secure him instead, Romano has indicated that Bradley Barcola could then leave Paris and become a genuine Anfield target.

Liverpool’s position looks genuinely credible here, and the fact that they are reportedly leading PSG according to multiple sources is important. PSG, for all their financial strength, are already congested in wide areas with Dembélé, Doué and Barcola, which actually works in Liverpool’s favour, since Arne Slot can offer him a clearer, more prominent role.
