**Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal were all reportedly told that Yan Diomande has no interest in joining them after contact was made with his agents this week.**
Diomande’s 13 goals and 10 assists for RB Leipzig in the 2025-26 season saw his stock explode, with top clubs around Europe all desperate to sign him before his value increases tenfold.
It’s difficult to believe that Diomande (19) has just a single full season under his belt in the Bundesliga, but his talent is undeniable.
What’s undeniable as well is that the Ivorian wants PSG and PSG only.
Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal all sent packing by Diomande’s representatives
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to a report from [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/liverpool-arsenal-man-city-yan-diomande-hijack-decision-made-psg-transfer) journalist Graeme Bailey, Liverpool and their rivals were all rejected by Diomande’s agents this week after making fresh approaches.
Bailey reports: _“Yan Diomande’s representatives have received fresh approaches from Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City over the past week, but each club has been given the same message – the winger remains committed to joining Paris Saint-Germain._
_“The race for one of Europe’s most sought-after attacking talents is not yet officially over, but sources have confirmed to us that_ _Diomande’__s_ _preference has not changed despite continued interest from the Premier League._
_“PSG remain fully focused on completing a deal, and TEAMtalk understands club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has taken personal control of negotiations with Red Bull as the European champions look to secure the Ivorian’s blockbuster transfer from Leipzig._
_“However, sources can confirm that PSG head coach Luis Enrique wants Diomande available immediately and has made it clear he wants the Ivory Coast sensation integrated into his squad this summer rather than delaying his arrival._
_“PSG are standing firm on their stance and are prepared to pay around €110million (£93.5m, $126m) to conclude the deal.”_
Liverpool need to use PSG’s interest in Diomande to sign Bradley Barcola
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new report suggests that [PSG will only sell Barcola for a fee in the region of €150m](https://live4liverpool.com/psg-want-a-massive-e150-million-fee-to-part-ways-with-bradley-barcola/) (£127m), but hopefully this does not deter Liverpool from getting a deal done.
While Liverpool are in serious need of a right winger as well, a forward line featuring Barcola and Alexander Isak is already a terrifying thought for opposition teams next season.
Even if it means that Victor Munoz will be the resident starter on the right flank, it would be a menacing prospect. The Spaniard is now a World Cup winner but is quite raw. That said, he seems perfect for a manager like Andoni Iraola.
