Liverpool have been given the green light by three transfer targets as new manager Andoni Iraola looks to strengthen his attacking options this summer. The Reds are prepared to spend up to £260 million to secure the signatures of Yan Diomande, Bradley Barcola and Adam Wharton.
Yan Diomande: £100m winger keen on Anfield move
Diomande is Liverpool's top target, but RB Leipzig have already rejected an £86m bid. The German club are holding out for closer to £112m, while publicly insisting the winger is not for sale, according to the Daily Mail. However, the 19-year-old Ivory Coast star is keen on the switch, and there is internal frustration over the length of negotiations. Liverpool may compromise with a £100m offer.
Bradley Barcola: PSG star excited by Iraola's project
Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola is another winger on Liverpool's radar. The 23-year-old, currently representing France at the World Cup, is considering his future in Ligue 1 after three impressive campaigns. French publication Le10Sport claims Liverpool have revived their interest, and Barcola is "thrilled" at the prospect of a move and "excited" by Iraola's project. A deal would likely require a fee comparable to Diomande's, around £100m.
Adam Wharton: Midfielder could join for £60m
Adam Wharton, who lifted the Conference League with Crystal Palace last season, could be eyeing a move to Champions League football. Palace co-owner Steve Parish said in October 2025: "Look, I think Adam at some point will want to play, either in the Champions League with us, if we could make that happen, or probably with another club. He's an extraordinary talent." TeamTALK reports Liverpool are plotting to build their midfield around Dominik Szoboszlai and Wharton, with a price tag of around £60m.
A combined outlay of approximately £260m would be needed to bring all three players to Anfield. Following last summer's lavish spending of £446m, it represents another enormous investment, but one that would hand Iraola the ideal platform to deliver silverware next season.
