Yan Diomande is an exciting young rascal of a player! No way Liverpool or anyone else should be paying £100m + for the lad at 19! That is not a criticism of the player because in 4 or 5 years he has the potential to be world class! He is not ready for a big move and the pressure of replacing Mo Salah!
The lad would be still learning on the job should LFC sign him!
The way LFC are run currently, Yan probably sees out a 6 year contract and PSG or Madrid get his peak years!?

The lad isn't in it for money.
For anybody who hasn't read it, do a search on Google for 'Dear Roxane by Yan Diomande'. The lad should be welcomed with open arms.

Nice kid and very talented footballer, but that doesn't mean LFC should be paying Leipzig £100m + to sign him! If LFC sign him I will back the lad!
Sign that young Swiss lad who scored a brace off the bench the other day, and one of the back up targets for a similar fee to what Yan is going to cost + Munoz, then LFC have depth and competition for places!
The big spend should be that Moroccan kid for midfield!?
Hey ho, what do I know, mate, it's only opinion, mate.

I wasn't having a go, @HNID, more me talking about the character of the lad more than anything.
21 Jun 2026 00:45:12
Yes, let's sign someone on the back of a randomly good performance in a World Cup because that always well, doesn't it, HNID? Right?

Look, Spuds have just had a bid of £80m rejected for Tonali. A bang average midfielder who's injured 50% of the time.
Forest have rejected a bid of £120m for Elliot Anderson.
Diomande is worth the money because £100m is nothing these days.
We just need to make sure we set these players up in a team they can actually play in. Not the shambles we had last season.

The money is irrelevant, it's not ours! The club is financially run very well, all transfer fees are bonkers, so all we can do is hope those that are signed add something to the squad. The kid is only 19, but a man mountain, he can run, turn, fight, cross and harangue the opposition, and he will be ours. After the horrid season and a half of dross we've had to endure, there's no need to go looking for something to moan about, the powers that have instigated significant change and that will require investment, rest assured, they do know what they're doing, with amortisation over the length of the contract, it isn't really crazy costs in the grand scheme of the modern game.
We should all be over the moon with what is being built, the significant investment in academy assets is really securing our future, with a clear pathway to first team football back on the agenda, now Slot has gone, the kids will want to come. So very exciting for the short, medium and long term.

Sorry £100m is nothing these days? If you have it to spare, I can find a good home for it. ? ?

There's some ridiculous things being claimed on here because people have a hard on for Diomande.
Can someone point me to the last time that 100mil transfer wasn't for someone considered to be one of the best in their position?
This lad has 1 year of proper footy under his belt, which he did well.
It's a huge gamble that people are prepared to take.

From the few times I've seen Diomande play, I've been really impressed. If we can get him, he's gonna be immense for us.
Although to me, he seems to look more comfortable, and looks more effective playing on the left rather than right wing.
21 Jun 2026 07:18:22
130m Euros now, to lose him on a free to RM in 5 years' time, that's gonna hurt!!!!

I think if the club can sign him, and sign the other players they want, then it's fine. If the budget is too badly affected by a huge outlay on Diomande, then maybe the club should tread carefully.
He looks an exciting player to me, very raw, be great to have him, but I would expect it to take time for him to settle into the pace of the league.
