A deal won't come cheap, as Liverpool.com understands Liverpool has not made an official bid yet, but it is understood that it has made clear to RB Leipzig that it would be willing to do a deal at around $115 million.As the two clubs appear to have a good working relationship, there is some hope that a deal can be thrashed out in the coming weeks, though the interest from Paris Saint-Germain looms large in the background.It remains to be seen whether an official bid will be made by Liverpool, and whether the club can get a deal over the line for a key target in the window.However, fans have a theory that moves elsewhere from RB Leipzig could help the Reds secure a deal for Diomande in the near future.A report from The Times claims that the Bundesliga outfit has made contact with Merseyside rivals Everton over a deal to sign forward Thierno Barry this summer.Thierno Barry celebrates his goal for Everton against Manchester City The Toffees paid $35.7 million to land the 23-year-old from Villarreal last summer, where he has since scored eight goals across the course of a season.While there was some promise shown by Barry, there were frustrations in some of his play, leading to doubts over his future heading into this summer transfer window.RB Leipzig's contact with Everton is aimed at clearly strengthening the team's forward line, but that has led Liverpool fans to believe that one forward in could result in another forward out for the team.That may be slightly unlikely, at least on initial glance, because Barry largely plays as a centre-forward, rather than on the flanks like Diomande can.It may mean he isn't a direct replacement, but it could provide some insight into where potential transfer funds are being spent at Leipzig, before the club are set for a potential cash injection with the sale of Diomande.It remains to be seen whether that will be the case, but there is seemingly optimism that the Liverpool wide areas can be strengthened this summer.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Yan DiomandeLiverpool FCEverton FC
