Last summer, Liverpool bought players for over £400 million. Brimming with confidence after the Premier League title with Arne Slot, it was now time to set up for a back-to-back title in the Premier League – and the extra reinforcements to go all the way in the Champions League. History showed that everything went but according to plan. The situation in the summer transfer market is now completely different for Liverpool. PSG intend to take advantage of this.
Liverpool are currently without a coach. PSG go into the summer as back-to-back champions of the Champions League with Luis Enrique ready to put his cigar pen on extension. This is the picture when a 19-year-old winger comet has to make his choice. According to French media, PSG have now couped Liverpool’s top candidate to replace Mo Salah.
19 years young, 36 games with 13 goals and 10 assists in his debut season. A player in the starting pit? Not when he is considered the “greatest talent since Erling Haaland” at Red Bull.
Liverpool have previously been reported to be in pole position to sign Yan Diomande, the player who himself has stated that he dreams of wearing the Liverpool shirt at Anfield, At the beginning of December, the English media reported that Liverpool were following Diomande’s development closely, within a few months the teenager has played his way into one of the most sought-after wingers on the transfer market in 2026. This spring, it has also been reported that Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Tottenham are following the Ivorian super talent closely.
According to Foot Mercato , PSG are in the process of hijacking Liverpool’s signing. The French media claims the 19-year-old has given the green light for PSG transfer. With the green light from Diomande, PSG will try to reach an agreement with RB Leipzig on a transfer fee, which is likely to end up at 100 million+ euros
Here, Liverpool must hurry. The first step will be to get the next coach in place.
