Liverpool has reportedly been given the green light to sign a Real Madrid player that it has long been linked with.

Eduardo Camavinga is routinely linked with a move to Liverpool, and TEAMtalk now says that Madrid is willing to sell the France international.

Camavinga has been at Madrid since 2021, when he joined the Spanish giant from Rennes, and he is contracted to the Bernabeu club until 2029.

However, despite his prominence in the team, it is claimed that Madrid plans to revamp its midfield in the summer, with Camavinga one of the players who is set to be offloaded.

Camavinga is a holding midfielder but his versatility has also seen him play at left-back and as a wide midfielder on both flanks for Los Blancos.

The 22-year-old would command a significant transfer fee given his standing in the game, but he would undoubtedly improve Liverpool's options in a number of positions.

Ryan Gravenberch has been used as a holding midfielder since Arne Slot arrived at Liverpool and has performed excellently, but the prospective arrival of Camavinga would allow him to be used further forward, which is how he was used most frequently at Ajax and Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, Liverpool has seemingly been given a boost in its pursuit of Yan Diomande after Bayern Munich reportedly withdrew from the race to sign the young attacker.

Bayern insider Christian Falk reports that Diomande has been deemed too expensive by Bayern ahead of the summer transfer window, which removes a major obstacle for Liverpool in its desire to sign him.

RB Leipzig is expected to demand in excess of $100 million for Diomande, who only joined Leipzig last year.

The 19-year-old is enjoying a fantastic season in Germany, having registered 11 goals and seven assists in 27 appearances in all competitions for Leipzig.

However, Bayern already has Luis Diaz and Michael Olise on the wings, so it has been decided that Bayern's desire to sign Diomande is not pressing enough to justify a huge outlay.

Liverpool, meanwhile, does have a more pressing need to sign a new wide forward amid uncertainty over Mohamed Salah's form and future.

Salah is contracted to Liverpool until next summer but could leave this year, leaving space in the Reds' squad for a new right winger.

Liverpool is expected to receive interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League for Salah, who is yet to reach double figures for goals for Liverpool this season.
