Liverpool have tracked Diomande since his breakthrough campaign with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
The Ivorian winger scored 13 goals and registered 10 assists in 36 appearances last season.
Club officials reportedly view him as a potential long-term replacement for departing superstar Mohamed Salah.
However, securing his signature will not be straightforward given the fierce competition for elite young players.
Leipzig are believed to value Diomande at well over £100 million following his rapid development.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also been credited with interest in the talented forward, reports Talk Sports.
Despite the growing speculation, Ivory Coast coach Emerse Fae insists the teenager remains focused on the World Cup.
Fae praised Diomande’s professionalism, work ethic and willingness to learn while highlighting his exceptional natural ability.
Liverpool are expected to remain patient as they assess their transfer priorities under new manager Andoni Iraola.
Strong World Cup performances could further increase Diomande’s value and intensify the race for his signature.
