RB Leipzig breakout star Yan Diomande has openly declared his desire to join Liverpool for a reported £88 million fee to fulfill both his own ambitions and his father’s lifelong dream.
RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande has publicly expressed his desire to join Liverpool, describing himself as a lifelong supporter of the club.
The 19-year-old Ivorian international has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the Bundesliga, recording seven goals and four assists in just 16 appearances this season.
In a social media video, Diomande confirmed his ambitions, stating: “I want to play at Anfield, I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a big Liverpool fan.”
The move would carry deep personal significance for the forward, who joined Leipzig from CD Leganés last summer.
Diomande revealed that his professional aspirations are tied to his family, noting: “My father’s dream is to see me play for Liverpool.”
Reports suggest the Reds are already in “advanced contact” with the player’s representatives, though Leipzig has reportedly set a steep £88 million price tag for their breakout starlet.
Liverpool’s interest comes amid tactical shifts and squad uncertainty at Anfield.
Following the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich and growing speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future—compounded by the Egyptian’s recent claims of being “thrown under a bus”—the Reds are actively seeking long-term attacking reinforcements.
With Federico Chiesa also linked with an exit, Diomande has emerged as a primary target to refresh Liverpool’s frontline under the bright lights of Anfield.
