Liverpool Near €100m Deal for Barcola as Diomande Targeted

Liverpool are close to a €100m signing as Paris Saint‑Germain prepare to sell winger Bradley Barcola. The Reds also have Ivorian Yan Diomande on their radar. Both players are linked with fees near €100m. Mohamed Salah’s departure leaves Liverpool without a forward who scored six non‑penalty goals and supplied six assists in the Premier League last season. Luis Diaz’s sale to Bayern Munich also removed a key winger, increasing the need for reinforcements. Yan Diomande has attracted interest from Paris Saint‑Germain and Liverpool alike. He would command around €100m after just 18 months of senior football, according to reports. Bradley Barcola, 23, is reportedly allowed to leave Paris Saint‑Germain because he has not agreed a new contract. Manager Luis Enrique wishes to keep him, but the club’s hierarchy is “not closed” to a sale. Barcola is frustrated with limited playing time behind Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Liverpool and Arsenal are identified as the primary suitors monitoring Barcola’s situation. Liverpool have pursued the French international for several months as they rebuild their attacking options. Barcola remains on international duty with France, and experts expect significant developments after the 2026 FIFA World Cup concludes.
