Liverpool targets Barcola, Diomande and Kroupi as PSG joins transfer race

Liverpool, now led by Andoni Iraola, is active in the summer transfer market to replace Mohamed Salah and bolster its attack. The club is pursuing PSG left‑back Bradley Barcola, valued at around £87 million, as a versatile alternative to Yan Diomande. Meanwhile, Liverpool is in a bidding war with Paris Saint‑Germain and Manchester City for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, the 19‑year‑old who recorded 13 goals and 10 assists last season and is under contract until 2030. In addition, Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, who scored 13 league goals this season, has expressed a preference for PSG, putting the French club in competition with Liverpool for his signature. Liverpool’s pursuit is further complicated by injuries to players such as Hugo Ekitike and the departure of Mohamed Salah, prompting the need for speed, creativity and depth across the front line.
