He was <em>the<\/em> priority. The Reds had reportedly tabled a \u20ac100million bid for the 19-year-old Ivorian, with \u20ac80m of that being an initial fee. It showed Liverpool meant business, and the Reds were reportedly further along with Diomande than any other club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool appeared to want the deal done as soon as possible, likely to lower the chances of a hijacked move. After reportedly striking an agreement with Diomande, the transfer looked to be a formality. And then it wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the latest reports, Diomande favours a move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>, who are said to be working on a deal with RB Leipzig. In the space of a week, Liverpool went from being favourites to sign the most in-demand forward currently on the market, to completely missing out on him without a rival team actually making a bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time this has happened to Liverpool. The Reds met with Aurelien Tchouameni before his move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/real-madrid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real Madrid<\/a>. They had a \u00a3115m offer accepted for Moises Caicedo, only for the midfielder to favour a move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chelsea<\/a>. Ousmane Dembele turned the Reds down in 2016 before they settled on a move for Sadio Mane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool usually react well to missing out on a top target, so this isn&#8217;t the end of the world. However, the market for right-wingers isn&#8217;t exactly great right now, and Liverpool are in desperate need of someone to fill the void left by Salah. So, who might be on their list?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Liverpool&#8217;s Diomande alternatives<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-yankuba-minteh\" data-level=\"3\">Yankuba Minteh<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-bradley-barcola\" data-level=\"3\">Bradley Barcola<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-rayan\" data-level=\"3\">Rayan<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yankuba-minteh\">Yankuba Minteh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When Diomande was initially named as Liverpool&#8217;s dream transfer target, a list of alternatives was also offered up. It was a three-man shortlist made up of Yankuba Minteh, Said El Mala and Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Of those on the list, only Minteh is a right-winger by trade, so we\u2019ll start with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-820x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1464633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-820x1024.png 820w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-1229x1536.png 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-214x267.png 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-160x200.png 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-48x60.png 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-120x150.png 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2-59x74.png 59w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132142\/image2-2.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brighton and Hove Albion<\/a> winger has been a little inconsistent since making the move from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Newcastle United<\/a>. At times, he looks unstoppable. Other times, he\u2019s been dropped from the team for failing to perform. He\u2019s not a guarantee. In fact, he\u2019s far from it. However, a lot of his strengths align with what Liverpool want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minteh is direct, he\u2019s quick, he\u2019s progressive and he\u2019s aggressive in possession. He\u2019s comfortable on the right and makes things happen. He\u2019s not the finished article but under the guidance of Andoni Iraola, there\u2019s no reason he couldn\u2019t scale his performances and become much more consistent, as a goal threat and as a creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton are known to be tough negotiators and this could be a bit of an issue. The Seagulls will want top money when all you\u2019d be paying for right now is potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bradley-barcola\">Bradley Barcola<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The narrative online is that it was always a case of either Diomande or Bradley Barcola. Even though they\u2019re completely different players with completely different profiles. Still, the PSG forward will no doubt be named as an option once again now with the Reds missing out on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/cote-divoire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ivory Coast<\/a> international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1464632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-267x267.png 267w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2-74x74.png 74w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/29132138\/image1-2.png 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcola can and has played on the right. However, he\u2019s naturally suited to the left due to his outside to inside runs. Part of his charm, and a key reason PSG are able to command a huge fee for him, is his goal threat coming in from that side. He makes those runs in behind, stretches play and looks to be a real threat. But it all comes from the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are taking a monumental risk if you take an inside forward, which he is, and try to turn them into a wide winger tasked with stretching the play for others and keeping the width. It\u2019s an even greater risk when you\u2019re paying top dollar for his return on the left and then deploying them on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool do like to take risks on occasions but feels like a step too far even for them.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

He knows the Premier League already having joined Bournemouth in January. He knows Iraola and the style of play he expects which, in theory, would make the transition a little more seamless. His ceiling is high. His floor looks to be good enough for a Reds team developing. He\u2019s naturally left-footed but he does hold the width on the right and he impressed for Iraola in that position.
