Liverpool transfer news: Bradley Barcola among PSG’s other targets in talks to sign Yan Diomande | Football news
Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola figures prominently among the options Liverpool are considering as an alternative to Yan Diomande’s top wing target.
PSG are negotiating with Diomande for his transfer RB Leipzig after he revealed that he would like to join the French and European champions.
The 19-year-old was Liverpool’s top target, but they were not ready to meet Leipzig’s price.
The German club want more than the £86m Liverpool were willing to pay for the Ivory Coast international.
The Premier League side have been reluctant to go higher than that, which seems to give PSG a clear run at the winger.
Luis Enrique’s side have an agreed contract with Diomande until 2031, but club-to-club talks between PSG and Leipzig are ongoing.
Why Liverpool are targeting Barcola can be found out this summer
Liverpool have already signed a defender Victor Munoz from Osasuna and are now exploring their options as they make their plans to take over Mohamed Salah.
Barcola’s future at PSG is uncertain due to the disappointment of being overlooked for the big games – namely the Champions League final win against Arsenal.
Sky Sports News at the beginning of the month he reported that Barcola may leave PSG this summer if he is not satisfied with his situation when he returns from the World Cup with France.
PSG want to sign the 23-year-old player but will not stand in their way if they wish to continue with the club and meet their expectations. The Ligue 1 club will not allow him to continue at a low cost.
Barcola has two years left on his contract, making this a good time for PSG to cash in on the player if he refuses to extend his contract.
Arsenal they’ve been looking at it with Barcola, but as it stands, it seems their priority is on the left side. Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa.
