Liverpool Weigh Barcola and Diomande as Winger Options Emerge

Liverpool’s summer recruitment plans are coming into sharper focus, with Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande now firmly part of the conversation around new winger options for Arne Slot’s side. During a recent episode of the David Lynch podcast, contributor Dave Davis and journalist David Lynch discussed how Liverpool could reshape their attack ahead of the new campaign.

The discussion centred on the growing need for fresh winger options, particularly with changes expected in the forward line. Davis framed the debate directly when he said: “There’s two men on the screen there, Yan Diomande, Red Bull Leipzig, Bradley Barcola.”

That set the tone for a detailed conversation about two of Europe’s most highly regarded young wide forwards.

Barcola Interest Growing Around Anfield

Barcola’s name has steadily gathered momentum in recent weeks and Lynch acknowledged that Liverpool’s admiration for the Paris Saint Germain winger is genuine. Speaking on the podcast, he explained: “So, we know that Liverpool like both players.”

The Frenchman is viewed as one of the more established winger options on the market. His pace, ability to carry the ball and experience at elite level have all placed him prominently on Liverpool’s radar.

Lynch also suggested external factors could influence the situation. “If they do go for him, it clearly opens up the possibility of Barcola leaving,” he said, referencing Paris Saint Germain’s interest in Diomande.

That point is significant because Liverpool’s recruitment department are clearly assessing multiple scenarios before making a final decision. Lynch described Barcola as a player who could realistically become available if movement elsewhere develops.

Reports surrounding the situation have also intensified in France, with claims that the player is “clearly interested in the project proposed by the English club”. Interest appears genuine on both sides.

Diomande Viewed as Elite Winger Option

While Barcola brings pedigree and Champions League experience, Diomande’s rise has attracted equally strong admiration from Liverpool’s recruitment team.
