RB Leipzig have already picked a replacement Yan Diomande who is linked with a summer move to Liverpool after his explosive season, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The Ivory Coast international has scored 11 goals and assisted seven times in just 27 appearances across all competitions this season. Leipzig are claimed to value Diomande at roughly $116.5million.
According to reports, the Liverpool hierarchy is willing to make an early move for the 19-year-old in an attempt to beat its rivals to his signature. The report states that the Reds are discussing the possibility of making a push to sign Diomande this summer, while the move isn’t dependent on Mohamed Salah’s future.
On their part Leipzig have already signed his replacement in Sani Suleiman, who joined in the summer from AS Trenčín of Slovakia for a club record fee.
Suleiman suffered a setback in training which has delayed his potential debut, but he is now back in training and expected to make his debut before the end of the season.
In the summer he is expected to be fully integrated into the team’s pre season training, and will begin the season pushing for a spot in the team’s starting lineup for next season.
