New comments from Germany have once again put us in the same sentence as one of Europe’s most coveted teenage attackers, while also offering insight into why patience could be central to how we tackle this attack.
Speaking via CF Bayern Insiderrespected journalist Christian Falk spoke about Bayern Munich’s thinking around RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, a name Liverpool supporters will already recognize.
The 19-year-old has been linked before, and Falk’s latest update explains why that interest isn’t fading away.
Diomande’s interest shows that Liverpool are thinking long term
Falk confirmed that Bayern are considering adding a younger option on the left flank, having already signed an experienced wide player from us last summer.
“Bayern Munich made one big deal last summer, Luis Diaz, and it worked very well.” he said, before explaining that’s what the Bundesliga giants want now “some competition on the left with a younger player”.
That’s where Diomande enters the conversation, with Falk noting that Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City are all clubs whose interest should be piqued. “very, very serious”.
For us, that fits with previous reports that Liverpool have been keeping a close eye on RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande following his standout start in Germany.
The teenager’s contract situation is also of interest, with Falk pointing out that he is signed until 2030, meaning a move won’t be cheap.
Diomande numbers explain Liverpool’s appeal
The numbers help explain why Diomande keeps appearing on Liverpool’s radar.
In fourteen games this season, the Ivory Coast international has scored six goals against an expected goal rate of just 3.16, while averaging three successful dribbles per game.

These results fit within the profile we have been pursuing in the past period, especially in combination with our willingness to invest in young top talent.
That approach has been evident elsewhere, with Liverpool agreeing a verbal deal for teenage defender Mor Talla Ndiaye as part of a wider focus on future-proofing the squad.
Diomande would fall firmly into the same category.
For the time being, that of Bayern “comfortable position” can delay any immediate move, but Liverpool being mentioned alongside Europe’s biggest clubs tells its own story.
This is a name we can expect to keep hearing.
