Liverpool show interest to sign Yan Diomande, Bradley Barcola and Jarrod Bowen. As reported by The Athletic, this comes after the sacking of Arne Slot, with links to Andoni Iraola becoming the Reds manager for the next season.

Yan Diomande

Yan Diomande is a 19-year-old winger from Ivory Coast who plays for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. He joined Leipzig in January transfer window in 2025. Since then his numbers have attracted interest from top clubs. This includes PSG, Liverpool, Manchester United. As reported by MSN, when asked about his future, Diomande said, “it would be a good idea to play for big clubs.” But at this point he has not revealed his preferred destination. This keeps options open for him which might help him get a better deal.

As reported by The Athletic, RB Leipzig would want more than €100 million transfer fee for him. Competition from other clubs could inflate the price. As reported by BBC, the **Reds**are going through a tough period after they won the Premier League last season. Liverpool have officially confirmed that Mohamed Salah is leaving the club this summer, and they need to find suitable replacements. Yan Diomande fits perfectly in Liverpool’s team. Also, with the potential incoming of Andoni Iraola, Diomande can fit well in his system.

As reported by Mirror, Diomande has given a ‘green light‘ to Liverpool and PSG. This means that the player is open to the move if clubs agree a fee. Liverpool will now have to negotiate with the club to secure this deal before PSG or any other club hijacks it.

Diomande’s stats for 2025/26 season across all competitions for RB Leipzig as per FotMob:

Competition Appearances Goals Assists Successful dribbles Duels won

Bundesliga 33 12 8 118 186

DFB Pokal 3 1 1 14 26

Jarrod Bowen

West Ham have been relegated from the Premier League due to their poor results in season 2025/26. Hammers skipper, Jarrod Bowen has issued a statement, where he apologized to the fans for the poor results by his team this season. As a result, football clubs like Liverpool, Everton and Manchester United are keen to sign Jarrod Bowen from the Hammers.

As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Bowen has confirmed that he is not planning to leave West Ham in the summer. Liverpool want to find a replacement for Mohamed Salah who is leaving the club this summer. The stance of Jarrod Bowen to stay at West Ham makes it difficult for Liverpool to sign a top Premier League proven right winger like Bowen.

Jarrod Bowen’s all time stats for West Ham across all competitions as reported by FotMob:

Club Appearances Goals Assists

West Ham 280 85 58

Bradley Barcola

As reported by ECHO, Liverpool have a long standing interest in signing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. They want to sign wingers this summer and Barcola is among the best options in Europe. Anthony Gordon has signed with Barcelona and Yan Diomande is facing interest from many clubs. So Barcola looks like a great option. His ability to play on both wings along with his pace and dribbling makes his profile interesting.

As reported by CAUGHTOFFSIDE, Arsenal are also watching Barcola closely. They want a left winger too and Barcola is an interesting player to look at. As of now, no official contact has been made to PSG for Barcola. PSG are happy with their player and would love to keep him at the club, but if Barcola wants more game time and decides to leave, Paris Saint-Germain will set a high price.

Barcola’s stats for 2025/26 season across all competitions for PSG as reported by FotMob:

Competition Appearances Goals Assists Successful dribbles

Ligue 1 29 11 1 36

UCL 16 2 4 18
