Liverpool Transfer News LIVE: Yan Diomande Latest, Nico Williams Interest, Federico Chiesa Exit
The World Cup begins this week, but for Liverpool fans, the majority of interest remains on the summer transfer window. With new boss Andoni Iraola still settling in after replacing Arne Slot, several new names are on the Reds' radar as the club's transfer team shapes the squad for the new head coach.
Some targets have been under consideration for a while. RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande is a firm target for the Reds, who view the teenage right winger as a perfect long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. Diomande is currently in Pennsylvania ahead of Ivory Coast's World Cup opener against Ecuador on Sunday night, and a few Reds might be interested onlookers for that match.
Another name that has come back into the frame this week is Spain and Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, who remains a target for several big clubs. Meanwhile, plenty of Liverpool players could be making exits, with Federico Chiesa considered one of the most likely departures.
Stay with us for the very latest news and speculation from the market as we try to separate fact from fiction.
Yan Diomande Interest
We start with the man on everyone's lips. Yan Diomande continues to be the name most solidly linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, and there is clearly interest from the Reds. Diomande is currently in Pennsylvania ahead of Ivory Coast's World Cup opener against Ecuador at midnight on Sunday night.
Nico Williams Interest
Reports suggest that Nico Williams has re-emerged as a potential target for Liverpool. The Athletic Bilbao winger, who impressed for Spain, is also attracting attention from other top European clubs. Liverpool may face competition for his signature.
Federico Chiesa Exit
Federico Chiesa is considered one of the most likely Liverpool players to leave this summer. The Italian winger has struggled for consistent game time and could seek a move elsewhere for more regular first-team football.
