Liverpool is in serious need of quality in the wide areas, while PSG is interested in Diomande amid the uncertainty surrounding Bradley Barcola's future.Liverpool is willing to pay €100 million ($113 million) plus €20 million ($23 million) to sign Diomande, and although Leipzig wants to wait until after the World Cup to see if it is possible to attain a bigger fee, Bild says that Roc Nation – the agency that represents Diomande – is pressuring Leipzig to accept Liverpool's proposal.Diomande seemingly dealt a blow to the Reds' chances of signing him earlier this month, after declaring that he has "loved" Paris Saint-Germain since he was a child and added that it would be a "pleasure" for him to join the club.Diomande said: "Paris Saint-Germain is a team I’ve loved since I was a child.

After that, the clubs will sort things out between themselves and then we’ll see what happens next.”However, despite those comments, Liverpool seems to be leading the race to sign him.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.Diomande registered 13 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for Leipzig this season after joining the Bundesliga club from Leganes last summer.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCYan DiomandeTransfers
