Liverpool are reportedly stepping up interest in two exciting young wingers, Liverpool F.C. targets Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola, as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the summer window. According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are both in talks with Diomande’s representatives, while RB Leipzig have also offered him a new contract with a release clause.
Diomande enjoyed a breakout season in Germany, registering 13 goals and 10 assists in 36 appearances, making him one of the most sought-after young wingers. However, competition is fierce, with PSG, Liverpool, and potentially other top clubs monitoring his situation closely.
Liverpool are also considering Barcola as an alternative option, especially if PSG win the race for Diomande. The club wants more pace and direct attacking threat on the wings after a season where width and speed were issues.
Stat comparisons show both Diomande and Barcola outperform Cody Gakpo in key attacking and dribbling metrics, which has convinced Liverpool’s recruitment team that a major upgrade is possible. Arsenal are also reportedly interested in Barcola, adding further pressure to act quickly.
A separate move for Atletico Nacional playmaker Samuel Martinez is also said to be close, but the winger signing is viewed as the priority “big-ticket” transfer for Arne Slot.
