Yan Diomande, the 19‑year‑old RB Leipzig star, tops Liverpool’s list with eight goals and six assists in his debut Bundesliga season. The Ivory Coast international is valued at £87 m and has expressed a desire to join Anfield, giving the Reds a potential edge over rivals such as Bayern and Tottenham.
Mateus Mane, 18, is the breakout talent of the Premier League, with Wolves expected to sell him for around £50 m. The versatile winger, who can also play centrally, has attracted interest from Liverpool and Manchester United. Meanwhile, Anthony Gordon, 24, has been a key scorer for Newcastle and is keen to return to the club that once signed him as a schoolboy.
