Liverpool Set to Launch Improved Bid for Highly Rated Midfielder Yan Diomande
Liverpool are set to make a fresh offer for RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Reds' initial bid of around €100 million was rejected by the Bundesliga club. Diomande, 19, is open to leaving after a breakout debut campaign in Germany, where he was named Bundesliga Rookie of the Season. RB Leipzig signed him from CD Leganés for €20 million last summer, and his rapid rise has made him a sought-after young attacker.
Diomande is currently representing Côte d’Ivoire at the FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig expects Paris Saint-Germain to rival Liverpool's bid for the young winger. Liverpool is growing increasingly confident in their pursuit of Diomande, despite Leipzig's desire to keep him for another year.
In other news, the Premier League has explained why Tottenham was not awarded a penalty in their draw against Leeds. The decision came after Spurs midfielder James Maddison was denied a penalty on his return from injury.
Separately, an error by Brazilian goalkeeper Bento delayed Cristiano Ronaldo's first title in Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr was leading 1-0 until the 53rd minute when the mistake occurred, preventing the team from winning the Saudi League title.
