Liverpool looks set to miss out on signing Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig this summer, but his proposed move to PSG could well open the door for the Reds to sign another reported targetBradley Barcola continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer transfer window(Image: (Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty Images))Yan Diomande's Liverpool snub could open the door for the Reds to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.Liverpool looks to have lost out on the race to sign Diomande, 19, from RB Leipzig in the current transfer window, following reports that the teenager has chosen the current European champions as his preferred next destination, in a major blow to Andoni Iraola 's side.However, these latest developments could offer Liverpool a major boost in its hopes of signing Barcola from the Ligue 1 team, with the France international said to be keen on an exit from the Parc de Princes this summer.With 12 trophies to his name in just three seasons with PSG, including three consecutive Ligue 1 titles and back-to-back UEFA Champions League crowns, Barcola is not only already highly experienced at the top level but a serial winner, too.His 39 goals and 37 assists in 152 appearances for the French team, in which he hasn't always been a guaranteed starter due to the plethora of talent at manager Luis Enrique's disposal, make Barcola a highly attractive prospect for any side, and now Liverpool could be ready to pounce.What makes this more likely is that, not only is Barcola "still high in Liverpool's thinking," according to reporter Ben Jacobs, but talkSPORT's Alex Crook adds how the France international is also said to be "pushing to leave PSG," making a move to Merseyside this summer a real possibility.Barcola is said to be keen on an exit from PSG after three seasons in the French capital(Image: (Photo by Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images))The biggest obstacle to Liverpool signing Barcola is PSG's stance on selling the player, with the Parisians yet to give the green light for the former Lyon star to move on.Despite still having the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue among the team's attacking options, Barcola is still highly regarded by PSG, though any further incomings, such as Diomande, could loosen the club's stance on keeping him around."Paris Saint-Germain are yet to give the green light to his exit for this summer, but in all my videos I told you many times there is movement around Bradley Barcola," transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said on his YouTube channel this week."I know in France, many sources say he is not leaving PSG. My information is that Barcola remains still open, so there is still a possibility for Barcola to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer…"If Liverpool go strong, there is still a possibility to see movement around Bradley Barcola, especially with this Yan Diomande story (choosing PSG)."Should Barcola become available, Liverpool will have to move quickly, with Premier League rival Arsenal, the reigning champion, also touted as a potential destination for the highly-rated French winger this summer.A move, however, will all depend on whether PSG and RB Leipzig can agree on a deal for Diomande's transfer.Yet the Ligue 1 side's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has already opened direct talks with the Bundesliga outfit, and is said to be confident the deal will get done.
