As revealed on Tuesday by the Echo's Paul Gorst, the Reds have earmarked Barcola as their No.1 priority this summer, following the departure of Mo Salah.But PSG have been wanting their own new arrival through the door before parting ways with Barcola and have been looking to land Yan Diomande in a £100m deal from RB Leipzig.
Such a move would have potentially softened their stance when it comes to Barcola, but Diomande, the 19 year-old Ivory Coast international, now looks set to join Real Madrid.The back-to-back Champions League winners announced on Sunday that they were withdrawing their interest, declaring: "The asking transfer fee and salary demands were completely disproportionate and distortive – and PSG will not break its principles of rational financial management and squad balance."Which brings us back to Barcola.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
