Liverpool's pre-season is well underway, adding urgency to their transfer activity. So far, the Reds have only signed Victor Munoz from Osasuna. After losing Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate this summer, fans have been alarmed by the club's seeming inaction, but that now looks to be changing.
Barcola Greenlights Move
Liverpool target Bradley Barcola has indicated he wants to leave reigning European champions PSG. The Reds have been chasing the winger for some time. French outlet Mercato reported that Barcola, who has two years left on his contract in Paris, is no longer in discussions with his club over a new deal.
A major obstacle is the staggering £140 million price tag PSG have slapped on the attacker. PSG believe that is a fair reflection of his valuation, citing Morgan Rogers' recent move to Chelsea. The Daily Mail reports that Liverpool are seeking a compromise on the valuation, with the France international open to holding talks with the Reds.
Liverpool turned to Barcola as they look to find Mohamed Salah's successor. Their attempts to sign Ivorian winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig failed, with Diomande now potentially on his way to Real Madrid.
Diomande Closer to Madrid
Real Madrid have reportedly agreed a deal in principle to sign Liverpool transfer target Yan Diomande. The Spanish side reached an agreement with RB Leipzig after their £85.4 million bid was rejected on Friday. A second bid is now under negotiation, according to talkSPORT.
Liverpool had been linked with the 19-year-old and explored a deal earlier in the summer but were unwilling to meet Leipzig's asking price, seeing an £85 million bid turned down. PSG were also keen, but they did not meet the transfer fee. Diomande is believed to have agreed a five-year deal with Real Madrid.
