🚨| Liverpool have reached a full verbal agreement on personal terms with Yan Diomande, with the player giving the green light to the move.
The Ivorian winger remains Liverpool’s priority target for the summer window, and the club are pushing hard to get the deal over the line.
Negotiations are now underway between Liverpool and RB Leipzig, who currently value Diomande at around £110 million.
Discussions are ongoing as Liverpool explore the structure of a potential agreement. 🔴🇨🇮 #lfc
🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Andoni Iraola won't have a big budget for signings this summer with Liverpool; he's been told to focus on analyzing 2-3 players he likes for replacements for the players that will leave the club this summer.
The Liverpool board are still taking into account the huge amount of money they spent last summer with Arne Slot and think they have top-quality players and have asked Iraola to work around the players the team currently has.
🚨💸🔴 Liverpool are considering a £40million bid for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott.
The Cherries value their star man at £60m, with the 22-year-old currently in Miami with Thomas Tuchel's England squad.
Ex-Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is set to join Liverpool on a two-year contract and could make Scott his first summer signing.
The Reds are also interested in £100m RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, but Iraola will be tasked with getting the best out of their £415m spree from last summer on the likes of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and others.
Were Scott to join Liverpool he would link up with his old Bournemouth boss in Iraola, although he is currently focused on England duty.
The 22-year-old is set to make his Three Lions debut tomorrow (Saturday) in the friendly against New Zealand after a stunning campaign for the south coast club.
Manchester United and Tottenham - who Scott supported as a boy - are also keeping tabs on him.

2 hal dari kata sambutan pendek Andoni Iraola ini.
1. Identity - ini luas artinya, tp kalo dikaitkan dengan yg jadi isu musim kmrn, tim yg kehilangan identitas di lapangan. Relate banget
2. I hope I'm in the level - humble, gak NPD kek yg kmrn
Andoni Iraola rasanya ngga perlu lama belajar menjiwai Liverpool, sebagai klub, maupun kota. Dalam hal ini kultur, etos dan disiplin kerja.
Sebagai orang Basque, dari kota kecil Usurbil merantau ke Bilbao sejak usia 17 tahun, jelas sudah cukup membentuk karakter umum yang sama dengan Liverpool.
Bilbao dan Liverpool secara sosial punya kemiripan, keduanya sama sama kota dengan pelabuhan dan industri di masa lalu. Sama sama pernah mengalami krisis ekonomi, pengangguran akibat pergeseran sosial.
Mental, kolektifitas etos kelas pekerja pastinya lekat dengannya.
Secara geografis, Bilbao dilintasi sungai Nervion, di Liverpool ada Mersey river.
Bilbao sebagai bagian Basque punya kultur yang berbeda banget dengan Spanyol, seperti halnya Catalan, Basque "bukan" Spanyol. Sama dengan Liverpool yang dalam beberapa kesempatan, dan terlihat di banner "Scouse Not English"
Sebagai putra Basque, Andoni Iraola sudah terbiasa dengan lingkungan yang merasa kejayaan dan kerasnya masa lalu harus dihormati , dan menjadi fondasi semangat, untuk bisa menyongsong masa depan dengan kepala tegak.
Pantaslah, jika Iraola menyebutkan kata identity dalam video pendek perkenalannya.
Identitas kota Liverpool, identitas Liverpool FC
Liverpool tried to sign Andoni Iraola as a player ahead of the 2014 January window, but he ended up staying at Athletic Club.
Now he’s tasked with leading a new era at Anfield.
