Liverpool have entered into preliminary discussions over a move for Yan Diomandé, as the club looks to strengthen its squad ahead of the coming transfer window.

The Merseyside club's interest in the midfielder marks a notable step in their recruitment planning, with talks understood to be at an early stage.

Meanwhile, Manchester City may be shifting their transfer focus. Rather than pursuing Elliot Anderson, the club could turn their attention toward Sandro Tonali as they look to reinforce their midfield options.

The potential pivot to Tonali suggests Manchester City are weighing up multiple targets as manager Pep Guardiola looks to reshape the squad.
