Last summer, Liverpool were the boss in the transfer market. The reigning Premier League champions lost Trent Alexander Arnold and Luis Diaz, but were the club that brought in new players for £440 million. The results did not materialize, and Liverpool have entered this summer’s transfer market on the defensive, compared to last summer. This has led the clearly prioritized Mo Salah replacement to choose Paris.
He is 19 years young, 36 games with 13 goals and 10 assists in his debut season, and is considered the “greatest talent since Erling Haaland” at Red Bull. Yan Diomande continues to impress in the World Cup for the Ivory Coast, on Tuesday he will test the Norwegian defense, probably inspired by Dembélé. Outside the World Cup arena, it is reported that the teenager has made the big decision about the next club.
Yan Diomande opts out of Liverpool
Liverpool were previously reported in pole position to sign Yan Diomande, the player who himself has stated 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 was also reported that Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Tottenham followed the Ivorian super talent closely.
At the beginning of June, Foot Mercato claimed that PSG were about to hijack Liverpool’s signing. The French media reported that the 19-year-old had given the green light for a PSG transfer.
Now, David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that the next club will be PSG, where the 19-year-old has the greatest faith in the PSG project, which is led by president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, football advisor Luís Campos and head coach Luis Enrique.
For Liverpool, a massive downturn.
