Liverpool poised to chase World Cup breakout stars Yan Diomande and Ayyoub Bouaddi

Liverpool are in position to sign two World Cup breakout stars, Yan Diomande and Ayyoub Bouaddi. Fabrizio Romano says the Reds may outbid Paris Saint-Germain for Diomande and have a strong case despite interest from Arsenal for Bouaddi. Yan Diomande, the Ivorian defender, has been linked with Liverpool for a long time. Romano claims Liverpool will offer more money than Paris Saint-Germain to secure his signature. Liverpool need a successor for Mohamed Salah, and Diomande is presented as a potential option. The club's financial capacity is highlighted as a factor.

Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18‑year‑old Moroccan midfielder, impressed against Brazil at the World Cup. His composure earned him a reputation as one of the best‑rated youngsters. Romano confirms initial talks between Liverpool and Bouaddi’s representatives. Despite interest from Arsenal, Liverpool are said to hold a strong position to sign him. Liverpool currently lack a starting defensive midfielder, making Bouaddi a strategic target. The club believes he could slot directly into the team and play regularly.
