Liverpool Must Pay €100m for Salah Replacement

Liverpool faces a €100m price tag to sign RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who will depart at the end of the 2025-26 season.

The 19-year-old Diomande has impressed with 11 goals and eight assists in 29 appearances for RB Leipzig this season. His versatility across both wings, explosive pace, and composure in the final third align with Liverpool's attacking identity. Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation closely.

According to Sky Germany, Leipzig is working on a contract adjustment with a performance-based salary increase but without a release clause. This approach strengthens Leipzig's negotiating position, though Liverpool could benefit from their established transfer relationship with the Bundesliga club.
