With players like Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson already confirming their plans to leave at the end of the season, Liverpool have a big task on their hands this summer.
That’s without mentioning the potential exits of Alisson Becker, Joe Gomez, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa. All of those names have been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield.
However, there’s also no shortage on names being linked with a move to Anfield.
Who Could Arrive?
RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and PSG’s Bradley Barcola have been two names on Liverpool’s radar, according to recent reports.
However, Mark Douglas of iNews has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in another forward that hasn’t been spoke about too much.

“They [Liverpool] are prepared to commit up to £75m to sign RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, with Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain another possible target,” said Douglas.
“Antonio Nusa, who primarily plays on the left, is another on Liverpool’s radar.”
The 21-year-old has been on the radar of many top European clubs since his breakthrough at Club Brugge. Although clearly talented, his numbers are yet to reach the level of a forward ready to operate in Liverpool’s front line.

Diomande or Nusa?
Since his move to RB Leipzig, he has managed just ten goals and eleven assists in 62 appearances for the German side.

His teammate, Yan Diomande, has managed thirteen goals and nine assists in his first season since his £18m move from Leganes.
Diomande is also two years younger than Nusa, whilst already showing better output. On one hand, that’s damning on Nusa but you could also argue that the Ivorian is less proven.
To spend £75m on Diomande after one breakthrough season would be a huge gamble and perhaps Nusa could offer a more cost-effective alternative.
