Liverpool are reassessing their attacking plans after accepting defeat in the race to sign Yan Diomande. The RB Leipzig winger had emerged as one of the club’s priority targets.
But his preference to join Paris Saint-Germain has forced the Reds to explore alternative options. The search for a new wide attacker remains a key objective.
Andoni Iraola wants to reshape his squad ahead of the new campaign. Liverpool are now monitoring several candidates, with one long-term target moving firmly into focus.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bradley Barcola‘s future at Paris Saint-Germain remains “absolutely open”.
Liverpool have admired the France international since the summer of 2025 and continue to keep him high on their shortlist.
Romano adds that Barcola’s situation could change if PSG complete deals for either Yan Diomande or Maghnes Akliouche.
The arrival of another winger could open the door for a departure should the French champions receive a significant offer.
Liverpool view Barcola as one of the leading alternatives after ending their pursuit of Diomande.
They are also looking at names like Said El Mala, Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Yankuba Minteh among the club’s options, although Barcola is their standout candidate.
The 23-year-old enjoyed another impressive season in Paris, registering 13 goals and seven assists in 49 appearances across all competitions.
Now, if Diomande or Akliouche arrive in Paris, Barcola’s future could become one of the major stories of the summer window, with Liverpool ready to monitor the situation closely.
🚨🔴 Bradley Barcola situation remains absolutely open as he’s high on Liverpool list, as reported for months.
If both Diomande/Akliouche join PSG, Barcola future could change in case of big proposal.
👀 Liverpool keen since summer 2025.
