Liverpool have outlined Yan Diomande as a replacement for forward Mohamed Salah. Ronny HARTMANN / AFP via Getty Images - Liverpool have formalised their interest in Yan Diomande by making contact with RB Leipzig over a possible deal for the winger, reports The Athletic. The 19-year-old forward has been linked with Liverpool for months as a potential Mohamed Salah replacement, though his availability has been unclear. RB Leipzig's reported stance is that no transfer is on the cards. PSG have shown interest in the Ivory Coast international, who scored 13 goals and assisted 10 times in the past season, but Liverpool are said to be in a more advanced position to land Diomande.
- Sandro Tonali is emerging as a "strong option" for Manchester City in midfield, if they can't secure a deal for Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson. That's according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, who claims that Arsenal are also showing interest in the Newcastle midfielder. It comes as Forest rejected City's opening offer for Anderson, with a transfer valuation set above the £100 million mark. It remains to be seen whether another move will be made, or whether the side will pivot to Tonali, who could be available this summer.
- Bayern Munich have reached a full verbal agreement with left back Nathaniel Brown ahead of a potential summer transfer switch, reports Sky Germany. The 22-year-old has impressed at Eintracht Frankfurt, leading to links with a possible move to Arsenal and Manchester United. However, Bayern Munich are looking to seal a deal first, with club contact already underway. However, a transfer valuation in the range of £52 million is in place, which could prove to be a stumbling block to any deal.

Manchester United and Tottenham have been touted as suitors, while Liverpool could now join the mix. Scott played 89 times for Iraola at Bournemouth, scoring six goals and assisting five. The midfielder has two years remaining under contract on the south coast, heading into the summer transfer window.
