The World Cup is the biggest showcase for young, promising players. For 19-year-old Yan Diomande, the championship is already a success after two games. The teenager “rode the merry-go-round” with Arsenal star Piero Hincapié in the 1-0 win against Ecuador as “Player of the Match”, on Saturday it was Germany’s Joshua Kimmich’s turn to be parked by the teenager.
What a player! For Liverpool supporters who didn’t understand why Liverpool should have pushed several bids across the table to RB Leipzig for the winger, there should now be no doubt. This is the rookie who has a twitch, a technique – and also finishing – that can make supporters forget that Mo Salah is no longer the X-factor in the Reds‘ attack.

Liverpool offers the best package for Yan Diomande
According to the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano, the signing battle is now between Liverpool and PSG, but where the Premier League club has the “best package”.
“The battle is between Liverpool and PSG, but Liverpool has an advantage that is not just about finances. From what I understand, they are ready to offer the player a better contract than PSG to lure him in,” Romano says on his YouTube channel.

According to the Liverpool Echo , Liverpool are prepared to make Diomande one of the most expensive signings in the club’s history, with €100 million now set aside for the RB Leipzig winger (then we’ll see if the Germans squeeze out a few tens of millions of euros). The Isak and Wirtz signings top the list of biggest investments, but 100 million euros for a still fresh teenager creates a separate category in the transfer record book.
This is happening!
