​Journalist hints at a major boost in Liverpool’s pursuit of Bradley Barcola as PSG close in on Diomandé deal. After months of strong interest from Liverpool, PSG are increasingly confident they can seal a transfer for RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande in the coming days. That move could open the door for Liverpool to target PSG winger Bradley Barcola. While Liverpool previously pursued Barcola in 2025, their priority then was a record-breaking £125m swoop for Alexander Isak. Now, journalist Santi Aouna has suggested a potential pathway to Barcola’s departure from PSG. On X, Aouna stated that PSG believes Yan Diomande will be their first summer signing and that Paris is confident about finalizing the deal soon. With the arrivals of Diomane and Akliouche, PSG might consider offloading Barcola, potentially creating a route for Liverpool to move for the Frenchman.
For Liverpool, the update could shift their market strategy. Diomandé has attracted Anfield interest, but a PSG exit could push Liverpool to explore alternative targets. Other players linked to Liverpool include Brighton’s Yankubah Minteh, Koln’s Said El Mala, and Lille’s Matias Fernandez-Pardo. If Diomandé and Akliouche both join PSG, the club may allow Barcola to leave, opening up fresh recruitment opportunities for Anfield as transfer windows move quickly and a single completed deal can trigger a chain reaction across the market. Arsenal have also shown notable interest in Barcola this summer, setting up potential competition for his signature.
