UMVA has learned that Liverpool's ambitious summer rebuild is far from over, with the club still on the hunt for another speedy attacker to bolster their squad.
The Reds' pursuit of Victor Muñoz is just the beginning, as they aim to add a winger or forward who can bring pace and agility to their attack, a clear indication of the direction of their rebuild under the guidance of their new leadership.
Liverpool are on the lookout for attackers who can stretch defenses with their speed, press aggressively, and provide a more potent threat in transition, a strategy that suggests they are building an attack based on pace, versatility, and future resale value.
The club has secured Muñoz from Osasuna in a deal worth around £34.5m, outbidding Newcastle to land the coveted player, but this signing appears to be just one part of a wider attacking plan, with several top targets still on their radar.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Yan Diomande remains a player Liverpool are optimistic about, but the situation is complicated, with PSG also circling and RB Leipzig demanding a whopping €130m, a price tag that makes the deal difficult even for a club as ambitious as Liverpool.
In a development reported by UMVA, Liverpool are keeping alternatives open, with Köln's Said El Mala, Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, and Lille's Matias Fernandez-Pardo all understood to be on their shortlist if Diomande proves too expensive, a move that showcases their strategic planning and financial muscle.
Fernandez-Pardo is another exciting name on Liverpool's radar, with Lille valuing him at around €70m, while Minteh would bring Premier League experience and El Mala looks more like a high-upside development option, a clear indication that Liverpool are not just buying names, but building a strong and dynamic attack.
Liverpool's strategy looks clear: they are building an attack based on pace, versatility, and future resale value, and if Diomande proves too expensive, Liverpool already have several routes ready, including Brighton’s Minteh and Bradley Barcola, another player they have looked at this summer.
