Contact made between clubsAccording to David Ornstein, Liverpool got in touch with Bundesliga side RB Leipzig to be begin talks over a possible move for the 19-year old. Per Ornstein; "Liverpool have made contact with RB Leipzig as they step up their pursuit of forward Yan Diomande.

Leipzig will not sell cheapThe Red Bull side, fresh off a third place finish in the Bundesliga secured Champions League football, will not be eager to see their brightest young talent depart before he truly hits his peak levels. Liverpool did prove last summer they were willing to shell out big money, but to an extent, that backfired dramatically in a limp fifth place league finish.

The Reds sneaking into the Champions League next season is a huge help in their endeavors on this front, as without that influx of money, my guess is Diomande would be well out of price range. Negotiations won't be easy, but Liverpool and Leipzig have done plenty of business together before, so it will be interesting to see if there is a discount given or not as talks roll on.
