The future of Diomande has taken several twists and turns since, with the possible switch to the French capital quickly being put into doubt.Real Madrid soon emerged as frontrunners, pushing PSG out of the picture in the same way Liverpool was, putting the Spanish club as the sole suitors left in discussions for the star.While that seemingly would bring the saga to a close, it has only dragged on further, with an agreement between the clubs yet to be reached as delays continue.With that in mind, TeamTalk reports that intermediaries have contacted both Liverpool and PSG to see if there was any interest in reviving a potential approach for Diomande in the final few weeks of the market.The Reds' response was the same as Les Parisiens', which is that neither club intends to re-join the race to sign the 19-year-old again this summer.Liverpool targeted Yan Diomande earlier in the transfer window(Image: Stefan Koops/EYE4IMAGES/NurPhoto via Getty Images)It seemingly rules out the possibility of Diomande joining the Merseyside outfit, even if a move with Real Madrid falls through in the coming days, though both teams seem convinced that he will be moving to the Bernabeu by the end of the transfer window.Attention for Liverpool has seemingly turned to Bradley Barcola, with talks firmly underway with PSG about the possibility of landing the Frenchman, who has rejected the chance to extend his contract at the club with which he has just two years remaining at.A deal is set to be costly for Iraola's side, due to the winger's quality, potential, and the general inflation of transfer fees seen on the market in the summer so far.The move may be dependent on PSG signing a replacement, though work is already underway in the French camp, despite dropping out of the race to sign Diomande last month.A deal has been agreed for AS Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche, while Ajax's Mika Godts and Barcelona's Ferran Torres are players of keen interest to the club.It remains to be seen what will follow, but it seems likely that a deal for either club to sign Diomande won't be one of them.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCYan Diomande
