@AnfieldSector El Mala played 1 match at RW in his career
Pardo played 7 matches at RW in his career.
Minteh is understandable. But the other two players can't replace Salah because they play in completely different positions.
More on Víctor Muñoz and Liverpool. #LFC have triggered Muñoz's €40m clause with the fee to be paid in two instalments.
Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards worked discretely for some time in order to pull off the deal.
Newcastle were in advanced talks, but Liverpool also won the race ahead of interest from Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen.
And Real Madrid explored bringing Muñoz back but concerns over playing time made this a non-starter.
Muñoz was discussed with Andoni Iraola in early squad planning conversations allowing the club to move quickly.
The appeal is in Muñoz's ability to play left and right wing as well as centre-forward.
This versatility also makes Liverpool feel Rio Ngumoha will still to get opportunities.
Medical done on Wednesday after permission granted by the RFEF with Liverpool staff flying out to the United States.
Muñoz has agreed a six-year contract.
Meanwhile, it is likely Federico Chiesa departs, even though his style is well-suited to Iraola's system. Italian is looking for regular minutes.🔴
@AnfieldSector As a Mo replacement. We have to get Diomande. Other options are not good enough imo(In particular, some players on this list can only play as left wingers).
[🟢] NEW: Naturally from PSG’s perspective, they also want to add and they would be prepared to move fast as well but it’s leaning towards the player wanting to move to the Premier League and then if Liverpool can agree that package with RB Leipzig, this could be a deal that gets done during the World Cup too.

[🟢] NEW: This deal has been driven by Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes. They made a trip over to the United States of America. They spoke to FSG in Boston about their summer plans and now Liverpool are attacking the market and the first name is through the door.

🚨🇨🇮 𝗡𝗘𝗪 - @JacobsBen via @talkSPORT: PSG are also prepared to move quickly for Yan Diomande, but the feeling is that the player is leaning towards a move to the Premier League.
If Liverpool can reach an agreement with RB Leipzig, there is a real chance the deal could be completed during the World Cup.
[🟢] NEW: RB Leipzig are still waiting for a formal answer as to whether Diomande wants to extend and leave in 2027 or go now. Thats why the asking price has been so high over the course of the last few weeks because Leipzig are effectively stalling until they get an answer from the player.
Liverpool, however, are prepared to put serious money down and they are in negotiations with Leipzig so not just on the player side and this could move very quickly.
[@JacobsBen]
[🟢] NEW: Liverpool have one signing and don’t be surprised if another follows very quickly.
Liverpool are optimistic that Diomande can get over the line. They have that player buy-in even though PSG are there as well and Liverpool are prepared to try and move quickly and there is a distinct possibility that this is a deal that gets done during the World Cup. 👀
