[๐ข] NEW: Liverpool are currently inclined to explore other targets after seeing an โฌ80m + โฌ20m bid rejected.
Liverpool had made their own progress on the player side, and haven't to date been directly told Diomande doesn't want to join. However, sources close Diomande say he wants to play under Luis Enrique.
If PSG get Diomande, Bradley Barcola, a Liverpool target, could be sold. Also a name on Arsenal's list of options. PSG have to date shut the door on an exit and been in on-off contract extension talks, but their stance could change.
Liverpool have also been exploring Said El Mala, Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Yankuba Minteh.

โน๏ธ ๐๐ก๐๐ข - @David_Ornstein: The Ivory Coast international, 19, believes in the project led by chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi and football advisor Luis Campos, sources speaking anonymously have told The Athletic, and wants to play for head coach Luis Enrique.
The winger sees a move to the French capital as giving him the best opportunity to consistently compete for trophies and potentially become a future Ballon Dโor winner.
[๐ข] BREAKING: Yan Diomande has chosen Paris Saint-Germain as his next destination if he leaves RB Leipzig this summer.

๐จ๐ญ SC Freiburg midfielder, 20, is currently with Switzerland at the World Cup
โฝ๏ธ He has been one of the stars so far with three goals
I love how I manifested Ayyoub Bouaddi to Liverpool.
If we sign him, we have the perfect combative midfielder who will platform all of our other midfielders.
He will be perfect Iraolaโs press.
This is spot on, building for the future, but you have to buy the here and now experience and day 1 starters. Fear we wonโt do this and have another 4th place battle.
Chelsea want Xhaka.
Arsenal want Guimaraes.
Real Madrid sign Bernardo Silva & Dumfries
Liverpool's recruitment model has been built around younger players with resale value, and it's brought plenty of success.
But is there room to occasionally bend that philosophy for elite, experienced players when the opportunity is there?
๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ The England starting line-up has been leaked ahead of tonight's World Cup fixture against Panama.
Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford are both poised to come into the XI with a rest for Declan Rice.
๐ญDo Liverpool face a decision at right-back. Do they sign another player, alternate Frimpong & Conor Bradley when he returns?
Whatโs the answer? ๐

๐จ LIVERPOOL'S ยฃ260M TRIPLE SWOOP? ๐จ
Andoni Iraola is plotting a massive summer rebuild at Anfield, and three major targets have already given the green light for a move! ๐ดโ๏ธ
๐จ๐ฎ Yan Diomande (ยฃ100m) โ Keen on Anfield; Reds pondering a massive ยฃ100m compromise with RB Leipzig.
๐ซ๐ท Bradley Barcola (ยฃ100m) โ The PSG star is reportedly "thrilled" by Iraolaโs project.
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Adam Wharton (ยฃ60m) โ Destined for the absolute top, and a Szoboszlai-Wharton midfield engine is on the cards.
Are you dropping ยฃ260M on these three if you're Liverpool? ๐
Full scoop by @AbbieMeehan via @MirrorFootball:
Alexander Isak has now played three full 90 minute games for Sweden at the World Cup.
He didnโt manage a single 90 minutes for Liverpool last season.
Hopefully weโve got a fit and firing Isak ready for next season.
๐ฅ | @davidlynchlfc for @bornnredlfc: โFrom his [Conor Bradleyโs] point of view, heโs targeting a return kind of shortly after the season starts, but obviously the playerโs view on things versus what the medical staff think, they tend to clash sometimes. So theyโre gonna be really careful with him.โ
โ๏ธ๐ฆ๐ท ๐ก๐๐ช - @JacobsBen via @TheRedmenTV: Liverpool still have question marks over the future of Alexis Mac Allister.
Once the dust settles on potentially multiple central exits, the club will become more aggressive in the midfield market.

๐ The plan for Liverpool is to have FOUR high-quality wide options.
As things stand, if the Yan Diomande deal gets done, itโs set to be the Ivory Coast international, Munoz, Ngumoha and Gakpo providing the creativity from the flanks in the coming campaign. (@JamesPearceLFC)
