Liverpool have returned with an improved offer for Yan Diomande but it has been turned down by RB Leipzig as they seek an astronomical fee to sell, according to a report.

Liverpool have already signed Spanish winger Victor Munoz from Osasuna for €40million (£34.5m), and Diomande is their next attacking target. The Reds have identified Diomande as an ideal replacement for club legend Mohamed Salah and are willing to spend huge money to land him.

Andoni Iraola’s side opened the bidding at €100m (£86m), as Leipzig had previously been tipped to sell for that fee this summer.

However, Leipzig knocked the proposal back, insisting they want to keep the Ivorian for at least one more season.

Reports in the German media stated on Wednesday that Liverpool were preparing to submit a new bid for Diomande worth €120m (£103m).

As per Bild, Liverpool have actually put slightly less than that figure on the table, offering €116m (£100m) in a fresh twist. But Liverpool’s bid has once again been snubbed.
