Door opens for sensational Bradley Barcola deal It’s no secret that Liverpool have got their eyes on Yan Diomande ahead of the summer transfer window. The 19-year-old RB Leipzig standout has enjoyed a stunning maiden campaign in the Bundesliga. Despite arriving on an £18m deal from Leganes only last summer it has been suggested that the Ivory Coast forward will be on the move in 2026.
Leipzig have contracted the wide forward until 2030 - putting the club in total control over his immediate transfer destiny - and a fee of €100m might be required to get the deal over the line . Diomande has expressed a preference for an Anfield move and no doubt he would fit the requirement for Arne Slot and Richard Hughes in the upcoming transfer period. A one-v-one specialist with creativity and a goal threat Diomande ticks all the boxes for the Premier League champions as they move towards a post-Mohamed Salah future.
PSG want Diomande But one complicating factor could be Paris Saint-Germain. The French aristocrats have beaten Liverpool to the transfer punch on numerous occasions in recent windows for the likes of Joao Neves, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue. And according to Foot Parisien PSG sporting director Luis Campos is now quite taken by the idea of signing Diomande.
“Having arrived at RB Leipzig last summer, Yan Diomandé has established himself as a key player for his team,” the report reads. “At just 19 years old, he has already racked up 13 goals and nine assists in all competitions. “Luis Campos has therefore taken a shine to the Ivorian winger, valued at €100 million by his club.
