Shortly after agreeing a deal for Victor Munoz, the news broke that the Reds are willing to go big for the RB Leipzig man too.The Bundesliga side would like to keep Diomande for another season, but Liverpool has already made clear that it would be willing to put down a package worth around €100 million ($115 million/£85 million) to bring him to Anfield now.Negotiations are ongoing for the 19-year-old, who looks set to be one of the stars of this summer's World Cup, where he has already made a big impression for Ivory Coast.Should Diomande prove unattainable, though, Liverpool will pivot to other options.
