Diomande's performances have unsurprisingly caught the attention of several clubs. Liverpool are among the clubs who have been monitoring the 19-year-old. The Reds are in the market for a new winger this summer as they aim to find a successor for Mo Salah, who will bring the curtain down on his nine-year Anfield chapter at the end of the season.

According to German newspaper BILD, Liverpool have already discussed Diomande with his agency Roc Nation Sports. The Ivory Coast international changed representatives last year. However, Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain have also reportedly had talks with Roc Nation, although 'no concrete offer' has been made.
