Liverpool continues to accelerate its steps to rebuild its attacking line amid the complicated future of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, after his relationship with coach Arne Slot reached a clear stage of tension. According to the website "Fichajes," the dispute between the two parties reopened the file of searching for a new leader for the team's attack, as the club prepares to conclude a massive deal in the winter.

The site reported that Liverpool's management considers Ivorian Yan Diumand the ideal solution for the next phase, seeing him as a long-term star project. They are preparing to pay around 100 million euros to sign him from RB Leipzig, especially since the player is considered one of the most prominent emerging talents in the Bundesliga.

The report clarified that Liverpool's interest in the player moved from just initial monitoring to urgent action after the tension between Salah and the technical staff became a main focus in the club's plans. The player is 19 years old and possesses technical characteristics compatible with the team's playing style and its need for a wing capable of quickly developing in the English Premier League.

Leipzig is asking for about 100 million euros to let go of the player, an amount Liverpool's management sees as reasonable given the current prices for players of this type, especially with Diumand turning into a target competed over by major clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City.

The report pointed out that Salah's recent statements, which hinted at a possible break with Slot, accelerated the club's efforts to find an actual replacement, as the management sees the necessity to prepare for an organized transitional phase if the player leaves during the winter or at the end of the season.

The same source also explained that Liverpool's attacking project is entering a reshaping phase, with Diumand emerging as an ideal option due to his speed, skill, and ability to exploit spaces—qualities that make him suitable for the nature of play in the Premier League. The club sees signing him as a strategic investment to compensate for a potential departure of the team's top scorers.

The report also indicated that Liverpool is aware of the challenge's magnitude but considers signing Diumand a vital step to ensure attacking stability, while Leipzig does not rule out completing the deal if an official offer of 100 million euros is made, which could open the door for a quick agreement between the two parties.
