Media watchLiverpool told to sign £86.4m star as Andoni Iraola's first transfer
Liverpool fans have urged the club to make Yan Diomande the first signing under Andoni Iraola after his impressive World Cup debut.
The RB Leipzig winger has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, with the Egypt international set to leave officially on June 30.
Last week, The Athletic reported that the Reds had opened talks with Leipzig in an attempt to reach an agreement for Diomande, who is thought to have a price-tag in the region of €100million (£86.4million).
For now though, Diomande’s focus is on the World Cup and he was handed a start by Emerse Fae in Ivory Coast’s Group E opener against Ecuador on Monday morning (UK time).
While Manchester United’s Amad Diallo scored the winning goal in stoppage time, arguably the major talking point from the game was Diomande’s overall performance.
