Liverpool are reportedly trying to take the lead in a summer battle with Paris Saint-Germain for Yan Diomande, but already have a back-up option in case they are beaten to the Ivorian.The Reds have been linked with Diomande virtually since he broke into RB Leipzig’s first-team last October, and talks are ramping up ahead of a mega deal.However, PSG are said to be right there in the mix as well, and according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are likely to pivot to Bradley Barcola if the Champions League finalists beat them to Diomande. You can only pick ONE player for Liverpool to sign this summer, who is it?

Liverpool really appreciate Barcola. He’s still not signing a new contract at PSG, so in case Diomande decides to go to PSG, Barcola again could be a serious option for Liverpool.
