As part of their pursuit, Liverpool have informed RB Leipzig that they are prepared to meet the €100 million asking price for Diomande.

Liverpool appear to be in a strong position to secure Diomande's signature, but the club is also exploring other options in case they are unable to complete the transfer.

RB Leipzig remains hopeful of keeping Diomande for another season, and French champions Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the player.
