Liverpool Weigh Barcola and Diomande in Salah Replacement Search

Tough terms at both clubs could slow any deal.

Overview

  • Liverpool have zeroed in on PSG’s Bradley Barcola and RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande as leading winger targets, according to coverage published Thursday.
  • Pundits and reporters say Barcola looks the safer fit for Arne Slot’s attack, pointing to his Champions League minutes, ability to play on either flank, and a return of 12 goals and seven assists this season.
  • PSG plan to offer Barcola a new bumper contract and are reluctant to sell, which would raise the bar for any approach from Anfield.
  • Liverpool rate Diomande but have doubts about paying around £85 million for a player described as relatively unproven at the very top level.
  • Club watchers expect Liverpool to choose one headline winger rather than both, with the market also shaped by PSG’s interest in Diomande and rival monitoring from Arsenal.
