“My father supports Paris Saint-Germain, and it’s a team I admire as a football fan.Content cannot be displayed without consent"It would be a pleasure for me to come and play at Paris with one of the biggest clubs... It’s always a pleasure to come here also because with French being spoken, I think adapting wouldn’t be difficult.

But why not?”Barcola has been linked with a move to Liverpool over the last couple of years, and Diomande's prospective move to PSG would bump Barcola further down the pecking order in Luis Enrique's attack.Barcola lost his place in Enrique's favored front three, which now comprises Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue.If Barcola moves to Liverpool, he will link up with France teammate Ekitike, who previously described his compatriot as "crazy fast" when asked for one word to describe the 23-year-old.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfers
