I don't know," Diomande said. My agents will sort that out."As for me I am more focused on the World Cup, that's the most important thing.

It doesn't happen all the time, it's only every four years, so I am making the most of it and for the rest, we'll see."Speaking earlier this week, Ivory Coast manager Emerse Fae sought to dampen speculation surrounding Diomande, quipping: "When we were in France, during the preparation, journalists told me he was about to sign with PSG."Here (in the United States), they tell me he's about to sign with Liverpool! I don't know, but for now, he will focus on the World Cup, and then afterwards, he can think about the rest of his career."
