Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsLiverpool FCLiverpool is showing interest in Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande, as the Merseyside outfit looks to add some clinical wide options to the squad for next seasonBradley Barcola continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool this summer(Image: (Photo by Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images))Liverpool's interest in a move for Bradley Barcola will require transfer dominoes to fall, as reports claim that other deals will need to go through before a potential transfer can be completed.It comes as the Reds are prepared for a busy summer transfer window, with some key decisions to be made over the squad that Andoni Iraola will take into his first campaign as the club's head coach.Energy and intensity are required to better fit the new manager's style of play, particularly in the forward areas, after the team looked blunt in attack in the latter stages of Arne Slot's time as coach. RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande has been a top priority target for Liverpool on the right wing, having been viewed as an ideal option to replace Mohamed Salah in the market.There have also been links with a deal to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, as recent reports have claimed that the winger has decided to leave the European champions, having failed to make progress on a new contract as he enters the final two years of his current deal.Liverpool could pounce on that to secure a deal of their own, but journalist Ben Jacobs claims that some other transfers may have to fall in place first.He states that PSG still wants to keep Barcola, despite the recent links with an exit, and that the club's stance won't change unless a new contract is declined and a replacement is found on the transfer market.Bradley Barcola's future will be decided later in the summer transfer window(Image: (Photo by Ewen Gavet/Icon Sport via Getty Images))While that means a sale isn't necessarily off the cards, it certainly makes it complicated, while Liverpool is said to be focusing on Diomande as a primary target at the moment.As a result, any move for the Merseyside outfit is likely to come later in the transfer window, if at all, as consideration is to be taken over the player's future.Some of that could come after the World Cup, with Barcola joining up with the France squad for the tournament, with an expectation that Les Bleus will make a deep run once again this year.In the meantime, attention can be focused elsewhere, with a deal for Diomande seeming much more plausible in the coming weeks of the summer transfer window.RB Leipzig has already made its valuation clear, while Liverpool has seemingly put in the ground work to get personal terms over the line as well, even with the 19-year-old's inclusion in the Ivory Coast squad for the World Cup.It remains to be seen whether the Reds will be able to land both, bolstering the left and right flanks in the process.But it's clear that the attack should have a fresh face or two available to Iraola by the time the window slams shut in September.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FC
