Fortunately for the supporters, the sluggish pace finally appears ready to accelerate. For the majority of the current window, the Reds have been heavily linked with high-profile swoops for Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande. There has now been significant updates regarding both potential deals, presenting head coach Andoni Iraola with a combination of positive news and potential setbacks. Liverpool target Bradley Barcola has signalled his desire to depart reigning European champions PSG. The Reds have been pursuing the winger for a considerable period, and French publication Mercato has reported that the player, who has two years remaining on his Paris contract, is no longer engaged in discussions with his club regarding fresh terms. A significant hurdle for Liverpool, though, is the eye-watering price tag PSG have attached to the attacker. PSG maintain that a staggering £140million represents a reasonable assessment of his worth, given his standing and the current market conditions, pointing to Morgan Rogers' recent transfer to Chelsea. The Daily Mail has reported that the Reds are attempting to negotiate a compromise on the £140m asking price, with the France international willing to enter discussions with Liverpool. Liverpool turned their attention to Barcola as they seek a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who departed the club this summer. Their pursuit of Ivorian winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig proved unsuccessful, with the winger now seemingly heading to Real Madrid instead. Madrid have reportedly struck an agreement in principle to land Liverpool transfer target Diomande. The Spanish giants have reached a deal to sign the Ivory Coast international from Leipzig, having finally come to terms with the Bundesliga outfit. PSG were also in the running amid reports that Diomande had agreed personal terms, though they ultimately fell short on the transfer fee. Real's £85.4m bid for Diomande was similarly knocked back by Leipzig on Friday. Los Blancos have since returned with a second offer and talks are ongoing, according to talkSPORT. Diomande is understood to have already agreed a five-year contract with the Spanish giants. FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
