Jurgen Klopp wants Betis star Assane Diao at Liverpool
In the fast-paced world of football, young talents are always in high demand, and Assane Diao is quickly emerging as one of La Liga’s most promising prospects this season. His impressive performances at Real Betis have caught the attention of several top European clubs, with Liverpool standing out as one of the frontrunners in the race for his signature.
At just 18 years of age, Assane Diao has undergone rapid development and is establishing himself as a rising star in Spanish football. During his time at Betis, the young sensation has left his mark by notching three goals in just four appearances. His lightning-fast pace and technical prowess on the field certainly make him an enticing prospect for Liverpool, who are eager to bolster their squad with young, exciting talent.
Jurgen Klopp remains keen on securing Diao‘s services. The Reds’ interest in the teenager is so substantial that they are willing to meet his full buyout clause, which stands at €30m. That is as per Fichajes. Financially, this amount isn’t a significant obstacle for the Premier League club, and it could mark a pivotal moment in Diao’s career.
Liverpool’s plan is to finalise the acquisition of Diao next summer. With the potential departure of Mohamed Salah looming on the horizon, Klopp’s side is looking to ensure they have the necessary pieces to maintain their competitive edge.
Diao to the Reds?
While Betis may attempt to retain their emerging Spanish star, Liverpool is committed to closely monitoring Diao’s progress and doing everything within their power to bring him into their fold.
The young talent surely has the opportunity to make the leap to one of Europe’s most prestigious clubs, and his impact at Anfield could prove significant in the upcoming season.

Liverpool fans can certainly look forward to the possibility of witnessing the rise of Assane Diao in their iconic red jersey but in terms of playing on the wing, he does not exactly emulate Mo Salah, who plays on the right.
