Liverpool are seeking to understand Bradley Barcola’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain in case they fail to land top target Yan Diomande.

Barcola, 23, has been at PSG for three years, but his future at the club remains unclear as the European champions look to maintain their dominance at the highest level.

PSG are also one of Liverpool’s main rivals in the race to sign Diomande, and there could be a knock-on effect stemming from that battle.

Liverpool are looking to establish the terms surrounding Barcola and assess the feasibility of a potential move this summer.

The Reds view strengthening their attack as a priority, particularly in light of Mohamed Salah’s departure and Hugo Ekitike’s injury.

There has been speculation that Barcola could become available for transfer this summer, and we understand Liverpool are among the clubs now trying to determine how realistic that possibility is.

Liverpool are bringing in Andoni Iraola as their new manager following Arne Slot’s departure, and ideally they want to secure a major attacking signing early in the transfer window.

Meanwhile, Diomande has a significant opportunity to advance his career, with two of the biggest clubs in world football competing for his signature.

Liverpool, however, are working to ensure they are fully prepared regardless of how his decision ultimately unfolds.
