Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsLiverpool FCLiverpool has been heavily linked with a move to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig but it sounds as though the player's preference would be to move to Paris Saint-GermainYan Diomande seemingly wants to join PSG(Image: Getty Images)Yan Diomande has revealed that he has "loved" Paris Saint-Germain since he was a child and added that it would be a "pleasure" for him to join the club.Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are the two clubs that continue to be most heavily linked with Diomande, who is coming off the back of a breakout season with RB Leipzig.Diomande joined Leipzig from Spanish outfit Leganes last summer, and registered 13 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for his new club.It's that kind of form which has alerted some of Europe's top clubs to his quality.Liverpool is in the market for a right-sided forward following the departure of club legend Mohamed Salah at the end of the season, while PSG is looking to refresh its options in attack amid suggestions that Bradley Barcola could leave the club.Barcola lost his place in Luis Enrique's first-choice starting XI this term following the emergence of the prodigious Desire Doue the previous season.Despite Diomande having an easier route into Liverpool's team, it sounds as though he would prefer to join PSG, judging by fresh comments he gave to French outlet Telefoot.Diomande said: "Paris Saint-Germain is a team I’ve loved since I was a child. My father supports Paris Saint-Germain, and it’s a team I admire as a football fan."It would be a pleasure for me to come and play at Paris with one of the biggest clubs...

After that, the clubs will sort things out between themselves and then we’ll see what happens next.”Interestingly, Diomande previously said that his father was a Liverpool fan."I want to play at Anfield, I want to play for Liverpool," Diomande said earlier this year. "I’m a big fan of Liverpool.

I’m a big fan of Liverpool because my father’s dream is to see me play at Anfield. So that’s my dream."You know, to fulfil my father’s dream is a dream for me too.”Diomande later slightly rowed back on those comments about his steadfast desire to play for Liverpool, although he did maintain that it was his dad's dream for him to play at Anfield.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCParis Saint-Germain FC
