Four elite alternatives emerge after Yan Diomande snubs Liverpool

Liverpool identified Yan Diomande as their top target to replace Mohamed Salah, but he only wants to join Paris Saint-Germain. 

The Ivorian reportedly believes a move to PSG would offer him the best platform to challenge for major trophies and realise his dream of winning the Ballon d’Or. 

Liverpool have quickly turned their attention towards alternative targets as they look to bring in an elite forward who could replicate Salah’s attacking output. 

According to talkSPORT, the Reds are monitoring PSG’s Bradley Barcola. 

Barcola has established himself as one of the best young forwards in Europe since joining the Ligue 1 giants in 2023. 

He has bagged 39 goals and 37 assists in 152 appearances across all competitions for PSG.

However, the France international was frustrated by Luis Enrique’s decision to drop him for the Champions League final against Arsenal. 

Barcola wants to be the protagonist rather than a supporting actor, and a summer exit is highly likely. 

The 23-year-old is a dynamic forward who is highly rated for his explosive pace, composure under pressure and attacking output. 

Liverpool are also considering FC Koln’s Said El Mala, Brighton & Hove Albion star Yankuba Minteh and Lille’s Matias Fernandez-Pardo as alternatives to Diomande.
