Sky Sports: Liverpool now in advanced talks to sign “outstanding” star who’s quicker than Salah and better dribbler than Eberechi Eze…

Sky Sports: Liverpool is currently engaged in advanced discussions to acquire an “exceptional” player who is faster than Salah.

Sky Sports – Liverpool is in highly advanced negotiations to secure a €100m forward to revamp their attack.

Liverpool is now in ‘very advanced discussions’ to sign an attacker who excels in dribbling compared to Eberechi Eze.

Reports indicate that Liverpool is in advanced negotiations to sign a 19-year-old speedster who is even quicker than Mohamed Salah.

Saudi Arabia continues to pursue a move for Salah.

When Salah put an end to speculation by signing a two-year contract extension with Liverpool last season, it seemed that would settle the matter. The Egyptian King at Anfield appeared set to dominate the headlines for at least a couple more years, potentially even retiring in Merseyside.

However, things have not gone as smoothly since that new deal. After being benched by Arne Slot during Liverpool’s win over West Ham United, significant doubts have arisen regarding Salah’s position in Liverpool’s strongest lineup as they aim to regain their most effective form. Consequently, rumors about his future have resurfaced.

At this time last year, Salah was arguably the best player globally, spearheading Liverpool’s surprising title challenge. A year later, though, he seems to be becoming more expendable at Anfield than ever.

Slot will hope that a recent dip in form is not the start of a significant decline, but it is a situation that Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes are already preparing for.

The Anfield management has already broken their transfer record twice this summer to reshape their attack around Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz. Although neither player has yet reached their peak performance, their signings indicate a shift in strategy.

Now, looking ahead to 2026, Liverpool is reportedly in a strong position to sign Yan Diomande and further enhance their attacking options.

Liverpool is in advanced discussions to sign Yan Diomande.

According to Sky Sports’ Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool is currently in advanced talks to secure Diomande, compelling Barcelona to withdraw from the competition to sign the RB Leipzig winger.

Competing with Tottenham, the Reds may acquire their next top speedster in the upcoming year. To illustrate just how fast Diomande is, the Leipzig star has achieved a maximum speed of 35.98 KM/H during the Bundesliga season, surpassing Salah’s 33.7 KM/H speed in the Premier League at the same time last year.

Additionally, only Oliver Burke has recorded a faster speed than Diomande this season, highlighting precisely why he has caught Liverpool’s attention.

However, as Leipzig’s managing director, Marcel Schafer, emphasized, the winger is not solely defined by his speed. The 19-year-old talent is also a skilled finisher, having netted four goals this season, and is an exceptional dribbler.

“He is a left winger with remarkable speed, capable of dribbling, very athletic, and proficient in finishing. He also never relinquishes the ball and contributes to the team. Despite the enthusiasm, we must allow Yan sufficient time to adjust to life in Leipzig and the Bundesliga.”

In a prime position to secure his signature, Liverpool should continue to pursue and finalize Diomande’s transfer when 2026 arrives.
