Liverpool could sign ‘one of the most exciting young talents in Europe’ for just £43m
Liverpool have a busy summer ahead of them as a new era beckons at Anfield amid Jurgen Klopp’s impending Anfield exit and Arne Slot taking the reins.
The Reds are also set for changes at boar𒐪droom level, with Richard Hughes taking over as sporting director at Anfield.
Slot, Hughes and FSG’s Michael Edwards will try to do all they ca🔯n to not only maintain continuity from the Klopp era, but to build on it.
Liverpool are likely to look at bolst♋ering their defensive ranks in summer, with Joel Matip set t🐼o leave Anfield when his contract expires.
And 🐬one defender the Reds have been linked with in recent months could potentially be a𒊎vailable for less than previously reported.
The player in question is Sporting Lisbon’s Ousm🅺ane Diomande, who could well becom🐓e the Portuguese club’s next big sale.
In April, reported that Liverpool are monitoring the 🦂21-year-old’s situation, but they’re not the only ones.
As well as the Reꦜds, New💯castle United are also keeping tabs on Diomande, while Chelsea are said to be admirers of the player too.
Now, have reported that, while the player’s clause is €80million (£69million), ‘negotiation for €50-60mi💖llion (£43-52mi🅺llion) is permitted’ by Sporting.
This means Liverpool could potentially sign one of Europe’s most highly-rated young defenders for a relatively modestꩲ fee.
Ousmane Diomande would be a good shout for Liverpool
Liverpool could certainly do with revamping their back ღline, and Diomande looks like he’d be a good shout for them thanks to his talent, work-rate, physicality and high ceiling.
༺Scouted’s features the 🐓reported Reds target at number five.
They wrote: “He ticks the boxes✨ of the extreme demands elite teams now place on their 🎶centre-backs.
“He’s big and fast, a dominant d𝔉efender in duels and solid in the air, calm and confident in possession, as well as remarkably two-footed on t🍰he ball.
“The Ivorian w�♊�ill be Sporting’s next big sale to the elite of the elite.”
Meanwhile, ‘s Jacek Kulig called ♔Diomande “one of the most exciting young talents in Europe” last year.
Let’s see what happens in the coming months. Liverpool will certainly fancy the𝄹ir chances of signing Diomande, but competition is like✤ly to be fierce.
