Liverpool have been contacted to explore their interest in reviving a deal for the messiest transfer in recent years: Yan Diomande. Now, with a move to Real Madrid stalling, his agents are once again panicking over what to do and have reached out to Liverpool and PSG again to explore reigniting a potential bidding war.

Liverpool and PSG close the door on Yan Diomande and his messy agents According to a report from TEAMtalk‘s Graeme Bailey, Liverpool and PSG have both reacted the same way after being contacted by Roc Nation to reignite talks to sign Diomande. Bailey reports: “Liverpool and PSG have reached the same conclusion after being contacted about re-entering talks to sign Yan Diomande amid delays in his transfer to Real Madrid, TEAMtalk can reveal.

“PSG and Liverpool have refused to re-engage in the race for Diomande after being approached by intermediaries, with both clubs convinced the RB Leipzig star remains fully committed to joining Real Madrid, sources have confirmed. “However, TEAMtalk understands the transfer has been delayed by final negotiations between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig, with the structure of the add-ons package currently the main issue preventing the deal from being signed off.” Liverpool have likely dodged a bullet Diomande might be a lovely guy and a future Ballon d’Or winner, however, his talent does not necessarily make it worth having to entertain the antics of his agents.
