Liverpool are reportedly targeting not one — but two exciting attacking talents ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
According to multiple sources, the Reds want to secure deals for both Michael Olise and Yan Diomande as they look to refresh and strengthen their forward options.
Why Olise?
Olise has been on the radar of several top clubs thanks to his ability to:
Create chances from wide areas Beat defenders one-on-one Unlock defences with intelligent movement
His combination of dribbling, vision and end product would add a different dimension to Liverpool’s attack — particularly in games where the Reds have struggled to break down organised backlines.
A left-side winger with flair and unpredictability, Olise could be exactly the kind of creative spark Liverpool have missed at times this season.
Why Diomande?
Yan Diomande is attracting interest for different reasons.
A powerful, athletic forward, he blends direct running with physicality and an eye for goal. His presence in the box offers a focal point many feel Liverpool currently lack on a consistent basis.
Teams are increasingly valuing young forwards who can:
Outmuscle defenders Hold play up effectively Run behind defensive lines
And Diomande fits that profile.
Two Targets, One Strategy?
If these reports are accurate, Liverpool’s recruitment strategy would look like a clear attempt to:
✔ Add creativity on the wings (Olise)
✔ Add physical forward presence (Diomande)
✔ Free up central space for players like Wirtz, Salah and Ekitike
That’s a balanced approach.
One target provides flair and unpredictability; the other provides strength and directness.
Together they would address some of the Reds’ recurring attacking frustrations this season.
Competition Will Be Fierce
Of course, Liverpool won’t have this to themselves.
Olise has long been linked with top-six clubs, and Diomande’s athletic profile has put him on the shopping lists of elite teams across Europe.
But the fact that Liverpool are reportedly considering both players suggests an ambition to evolve the squad — not just tweak it.
Whether negotiations escalate into concrete bids remains to be seen, but this double-target scenario gives plenty to talk about ahead of the summer.
