Amidst the Complications of the Diomande Deal.. Liverpool Monitors Bournemouth Player

Liverpool continues to study its attacking options in the summer transfer market, placing Brazilian winger Ryan Vitor Rocha, Bournemouth player, among the top candidates to succeed Mohamed Salah in the upcoming period.

The site 'TEAMtalk' mentioned that the new coach Andoni Iraola is one of the biggest admirers of Ryan's abilities, having previously supervised him at Bournemouth, and Liverpool's management had been monitoring the player before contracting with the Spanish coach.

Ryan joined Bournemouth in January 2026 coming from Vasco da Gama, and succeeded in scoring five goals and assisting two during 15 matches he played with the team in various competitions.

The report added that Liverpool might intensify its interest in the player in the upcoming period, but expectations indicate that he will continue with Bournemouth until at least January 2027, noting that his contract includes a release clause worth 130 million pounds sterling, which will be activated at the beginning of next year.

At the same time, Liverpool faces complications in its pursuit to sign Ivorian winger Yan Diomande, and the same source clarified that the club is communicating with the player's representatives, but Leipzig insists on keeping him for an additional season, and the player is not pushing to leave this summer.

Therefore, Liverpool continues to evaluate several attacking options, in its quest to find the suitable replacement for Mohamed Salah in preparation for the upcoming seasons.
