Andoni Iraola’s appointment as Liverpool boss has opened the door for the Reds to make a move for Bournemouth’s Brazil international Rayan – but not until January at the earliest.
The i Paper understands that Iraola is a “huge fan” of Rayan, who made a stunning start to his Premier League career with five goals in his first 15 matches. With Liverpool looking to shake up their attacking options in the wake of Mo Salah’s departure he was already on the club’s radar before the decision to appoint Iraola. That is likely to be firmed up now he is in charge.
The key positions Liverpool are targeting
Liverpool are in talks with RB Leipzig over their coveted forward Yan Diomande but the 19-year-old is valued at around £120m by the Bundesliga club. The Ivory Coast international is understood to be keen on the move – and the prospect of becoming Salah’s heir – but there would need to be movement on the price before the transfer can move forward.
