With a reported €100 million price tag, the speculation surrounding his future shows no signs of fading.

The Ivorian international, set to represent his country at the upcoming FIFA World Cup in the United States (June 11–July 19), has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. With Mohamed Salah’s departure from Liverpool, the English Premier League giants are reportedly vying for Diomandé’s signature, alongside the Ligue 1 champions PSG. However, insider reports suggest that the young winger has not yet given the green light to either club. Florian Plettenberg of Sky Deutschland has indicated that Diomandé remains uncommitted, leaving both PSG and Liverpool in the dark regarding his final decision.
