Liverpool remain determined to sign RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, Flashscore reveals

It is felt that the longer this situation continues, the more concern there is within Anfield that Paris Saint-Germain might table an offer.

However, Liverpool have stayed focused on the player, and current reports indicate he remains their primary target as they look to bring in a wide attacker.

The Ivory Coast international delivered an energetic performance as his side kicked off their campaign with a victory over Ecuador.

Further impressive displays at the World Cup could yet draw interest from other top clubs.

That would benefit his current club, RB Leipzig, but Liverpool want to avoid any bidding wars, and we understand they have been actively pursuing a deal in the hope of making a breakthrough.

It is true that they have Bradley Barcola on their radar in case they miss out on Diomande, a point we covered on Flashscore in an article at the start of June.

But sources have informed Flashscore this week that Liverpool are still in contact regarding a potential deal for Diomande and are eager to reach an agreement.

Meanwhile, there could be further changes in attack, as some rumours suggest Liverpool might be open to the departure of current forward Cody Gakpo.

It has been reported that the Netherlands international is open to a fresh challenge, and sources confirm his future is uncertain, with a potential exit after the World Cup possible.

The player is not being actively marketed for sale, but the club would consider offers.

This is an intriguing period for Liverpool, who have replaced manager Arne Slot with Andoni Iraola, and the club is clearly looking towards a minor rebuild.
