Liverpool look set to miss out on Hoffenheim and Côte d’Ivoire winger Bazoumana Touré, who was among those under consideration as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
After fellow Ivorian talent Yan Diomande conveyed his preference to join Paris Saint-Germain in the event he leaves RB Leipzig this summer, Touré had emerged as a more attainable alternative. But reports now suggest the 20-year-old is heading to Newcastle United instead.
