My father supports Paris Saint-Germain, and it’s a team I admire as a football fan."It would be a pleasure for me to come and play at Paris with one of the biggest clubs...

After that, the clubs will sort things out between themselves and then we’ll see what happens next.”Interestingly, Diomande previously said that his father was a Liverpool fan."I want to play at Anfield, I want to play for Liverpool," Diomande said earlier this year. "I’m a big fan of Liverpool.

I’m a big fan of Liverpool because my father’s dream is to see me play at Anfield. So that’s my dream."You know, to fulfil my father’s dream is a dream for me too.”Diomande later slightly rowed back on those comments about his steadfast desire to play for Liverpool, although he did maintain that it was his dad's dream for him to play at Anfield.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Mohamed SalahLiverpool FC
