Diomande Declares Love for PSG, Liverpool Reportedly Shifts Focus to Barcola

RB Leipzig winger Jan Diomande has become a transfer target for several major European clubs, with Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool currently showing the most serious interest. Reports indicate that both clubs are already in negotiations with representatives of the 19-year-old, for whom Leipzig is demanding €100 million. Diomande himself, who scored 13 goals for the "Red Bulls" last season, appears to favor the Parisian giants, a preference he recently expressed in France.

"Paris Saint-Germain is a team I've loved since childhood. My father supports Paris Saint-Germain, and it's a club I admire as a football fan. It would be a pleasure for me to come and play here, at one of the biggest clubs. Since I speak French, I don't think adaptation would be difficult. Why not? However, I'm not looking ahead to the future or focusing on anything else right now. My concentration is on the World Cup. After that, the clubs will sort things out among themselves, and we'll see what happens next," Diomande stated to "L'Équipe" and "Téléfoot."

Even if the Ivorian chooses PSG over Liverpool, this could still benefit the Merseyside club, who are also reportedly interested in Bradley Barcola. According to Nicolò Schira, Anfield has already initiated talks with Jorge Mendes regarding the French winger. However, Fabrizio Romano corrected this information, clarifying that Barcola changed agents over a year ago and is now represented by Moussa Sissoko. The transfer expert added that not only Liverpool but also Arsenal are showing interest in him.
