Yakka unfortunately I seem to remember us of saying something similar last summer when we were chasing after Wirtz and Izak !!
As for the 19 year old Diomande, one decent season with RB Leipzig who paid the €20m release clause for him in July 2025, is he really the answer? It has been suggested that LIVERPOOL will probably have to pay somewhere in the region of €130m to get the deal done. That seems an absolutely crazy amount of money considering he’s been playing in a league that is a far cry from the premiership. Watched them for about 20 minutes and last night’s World Cup match and I fully accept that he looks reasonable but surely has got to be better and more well proven options than a kid for €130m. I’m surprised that FSG are prepared to go anywhere near this. Let’s face it we give him a five year contract and he’ll be 24 at the end of it and then Real Madrid comes sniffing around when he’s on a free !!
