Bradley Barcola is single-handedly trying to steer his career towards LFC.
I'm not going to give it the kiss of death.
But there could be 'neck on the line' posts soon.
Diomande is desperately disappointed about us cooling interest, agents have played him out of his dream move.
Ta.

This is the type of player we want. Someone who really wants to join us and is doing his best to make it happen.
Diomande, unfortunately, is being led by others.

I've always been far more excited about Barcola than Diomande personally - just think Diomande is too pricy at a young age and one good season - he didn't show much in the WC in my opinion and Barcola did.
Left or right side - I know all the chat on that, but they must have a design for it all.

If he wants to play for us we should do our best to sign him up! I'm fed up of the Diomande circus. (Long time lurker, but thought I'd start to support Carra, Fields etc.)

Both or None for me.
Spain in the Semi Final versus France showed how to stop elite wingers.
The Paisley teams that won European Cups and many leagues back to back, and every other trophy, had Kennedy and Case as wide men, which proves, like Spain above, flying wingers are not needed.
Chelsea beating PSG 3-0 in the World Club Final is another example.
You could put an argument that Salah and Mane were flying wingers, and counter that by saying they only won one European Cup as a pair, compared to Case and Kennedy's trophy haul.

He is disappointed?
Where was he when all the discussions were going on?
Shouldn't they be doing things based on his instruction?
If it was his dream move, then surely he would have told them to make it happen.

Disappointed, but made Paris the priority over us??? Ends up getting the fabled move to Madrid. I doubt Diomande is unhappy, and we don't want players who don't want us. Barcola, on the other hand - bring him in.

Romano claims we are still working on Barcola, that he is keen on the project, and that we are just waiting on PSG to indicate a price. Arsenal are not actively pursuing the player.
Real to submit a second bid for Diomande imminently.

26 Jul 2026 15:15:20
Hi Chewy. I've just read that PSG are looking £145m? Is this for real? Seems an awful lot. When you consider the other players and gaps in the squad we need to address, I think we could get a cheaper option and get some RB RCB's in asap. Would welcome Barcola with open arms but don't get the valuation

26 Jul 2026 15:52:04
Bayern space/itk space says the figures bandied about are false, and it will be more like 86m, with 17 more in achievable add ons. Total 103m.

Inbeta, it's been reported by Ben Jacobs and Fabrice Hawkins. Jacobs seems to have been the first to make the claim, Hawkins shortly after. The price tag aligns with the currently hyperinflated market, unfortunately. Barcola is a 2-time Champions League winner.

26 Jul 2026 16:58:01
LFC first offer ~£95M.
PSG first demand ~£145M.
Meet halfway & do a deal @ £120M?!
Consistent with recent Anderson / Rodgers and maybe better value as a more attacking position which tends to be priced higher.
Looks feasible to me, what do you all think?

26 Jul 2026 13:38:10
Nnamdi Collins is being lined up as a potential signing. Reasonably good, young and versatile and not expected to be too expensive (£34m is rumoured). A potentially very sensible signing.

Hi All,
First time poster, after years of following right back to the 'Macca' days.
It seems Bayern Space now ITKBayern is saying Barcola is progressing with LFC.
He has muted €100 million fixed (£86.5m) plus €20 million (£17.3m) would get the deal done with PSG.
Not saying it will, but ITKBayern has been very accurate in the past.
Cheers.

26 Jul 2026 15:48:33
That seems a more reasonable fee for a player with a high profile, but still a bit to prove. I wonder if we get Barcola whether Munoz will end up on the right.

In response to a fair and just comment from @redronson - I hold my hands high and said I was certain that Diomande would sign for us.
I will always say I'm wrong - if it turns out I'm wrong.
I also said, with certainty, that Barcola will not sign for us.
On both points, I have yet to be proven right or wrong.
I still hold firm in my beliefs, even with the introduction of RM into the mix; we will sign Diomande but will not sign Barcola.
I think we have come too far and put so much work into the transfer that we won't pull out now. I'll go one further and take a punt that we'll up our offer closer to what RBL want. If we don't, I'll happily take any criticism.

26 Jul 2026 12:52:02
I think the ship truly has sailed with Diomande - no one credible besides this forum has linked us with him for weeks, particularly RB journos and PSG journos, whereas Barcola links are everywhere and constant. I know the mainstream media push stories often for clicks but such widespread activity or lack of activity in Diomande's case cannot be dismissed.
Diomande will go to Madrid or Paris, and Barcola is now our primary target. I respect the commitment to your belief John Barnes is God, and I believe at many points Diomande was close to us; however, his agency issues have probs killed that move.

I wasn't talking about you, mate. Don't worry, we can all make mistakes, but I'm not interested in seeking attention, just a fella who tries to give you infos. I don't earn anything from this. At the end of the day, the most important thing is focusing on what we love the most and that's LFC and try to do our best, all of us, to have infos on our market activity.
Let's just hope we sign what we need to reinforce the team, especially on the wings. Not a huge fan of Barcola, Akliouche or Diomande.
The first two I've seen play live for many years. Barcola didn't manage to get into the first team at PSG, and he isn't a 170M EUR player, his finishing needs improvement, but I guess that's the market today. Akliouche isn't a player for us, as I've previously explained in another post, so I pray we don't sign him. Diomande, just one season and already worth north of 100M EUR... I mean, how much would Gervinho or Jay-Jay Okocha be worth? Too much pressure on the fella, proven nothing yet.

@jbig,
you don't have to explain yourself, mate. It's a rumours and opinions forum, mate. Too many on here with 0 patience, and like you said, you are yet to be proved right or wrong, so no explanations needed.
The club is in the middle of trying to sell a large minority share, maybe once that's done we will act quicker, who knows.
We are just fans, we will find out when the info is known to the public and journos, and any inside knowledge is gratefully received.

We'll sign neither if Arsenal make a serious move for Barcola.

26 Jul 2026 13:51:38
Thanks, JB is God. It feels like Rbl are holding us to ransom, for the sake of £10-20m, given the priority the club has given him, I don't understand why we're stalling - personally I want Rayan, who would also incidentally be cheaper and, although a small sample size, is PL proven.
Agree1

26 Jul 2026 13:59:36
I think we have walked away from Diomande, it was too much money for a kid anyway. He wants PSG ao, unless they can strike a deal, he may then have to take another option whether it's Madrid or whoever. The only way we sign him now is if Rocnation come crawling back and RB accepted a lower bid which won't happen.
Barcola for me again is too much money but he is looking more likely, perhaps the sale of Barcola funds Diomande.
If it is true that Barcola has made it clear he wants us, then I want him because that's the attitude I want.
Rayan, again I think Bournemouth will want stupid money for a player that we've only seen 1 season of. This would need to be a sensible deal upfront with a heavier performance based add ons kinda deal.
Agree1

26 Jul 2026 14:58:41
I think Akliouche is a very very good player. However, I don't think he is really a winger. Diomande is far and away the best player of the three, but with all the issues getting the deal done, he appears to be more trouble than he is worth.
Barcola, though I am not a massive fan, has elite level pace, which is something we desperately need, and even if his finishing can be haphazard, he consistently gets into very dangerous positions to create or score every game I've seen him play.
Agree0

26 Jul 2026 13:17:57
Get a grip @Jonhbarnesisgod. Diomande is never signing for Liverpool. Wake up from your slumber and get used to it. It is never happening What about other targets like Rayan, Akliouche and our defensive midfield targets what happened to them

I'm getting bored with the continual chatter about 'what the ITKs have or haven't said. It's not even a conversation about football anymore.
As a fan of Liverpool, I'm really happy when people provide rumours, opinions, information and / or knowledge. That's what the rumours page is all about and long may it continue.
But, the increasingly endless 'he said, she said' is nothing to do with rumours, it is people who can't distinguish chatter from immutable facts, just sad.
I'm sure it won't stop as people cite their favourite ITKs as the reason they access the forum but surely, when all's said and done, the lesson learned should be, take what's written with a pinch of salt and try, really try for God's sake to realise that the club will be the one with the definitive statement that players have been bought or sold.

Hi there again,
Follow up on the Barcola situation. It is now reported in French media that he declined to renew based only on play time. PSG offered him a more lucrative deal. Enrique was adamant to keep him at the club.
The player is convinced he can get first team game time at other clubs. We are not the only ones in it, keep an eye on Bayern where Luis Diaz could be on his way out as reported.
Cheers,
Red Ronson.

Hi,
You mentioned that Barcola was going to sign a new contract, but now it's being reported that PSG have known for months that he wasn't planning to sign one.
Now it's to keep an eye on Bayern, while it is reported that Liverpool is his first choice and I doubt that he will fancy playing in the Bundesliga.
Agree5
Disagree0
26 Jul 2026 12:49:12
I never said he will definitely sign, just that PSG were confident given the lucrative deal they offered and the status of playing for a team like them. Why would you leave them really? Game time, I suppose, although he plays 30 something games per season, but it's understandable if he wants a bigger role at another team.
I told you to keep an eye on Bayern if Luis Diaz goes to Saudi Arabia. As was reported, there are ongoing negotiations with Al Hilal.

26 Jul 2026 15:10:42
@Red Robson, It really doesn't matter if you, or anybody else, said he will or won't definitely sign. People read what they want to see more often than not. Keep posting the info, mate, like everybody who takes the time to pass info on, it's good to read and don't rise to the bait.

Quansah, Chalobah and Sancho will soon be the next players were linked with. The first 2, I’d be okay with being youngish English and we know they can be around a Premier League squad.
But if we end up signing Sancho on a free, I will be disappointed, even if he had some okay cameos for Villa last season, but someone will point out he’s still young English and can play either side as a utility player, I understand he’s not very ‘Iraola’ but you could probably say the same about Emery and maybe needs must?
Agree0

26 Jul 2026 12:25:53
I see the logic as a cheap back up, but he's not been good for a while now, and would be a hard sell to some, as he was an expensive flop at Man Utd. A versatile attacker on the cheap or on loan would be nice while Hugo recovers, but not Sancho.
Ferran Torres would be the ideal type of player, but too expensive, I'd say.

Wouldn't at all be surprised to see us trigger Quansah's release clause next summer to replace VVD or Gomez if he continues to do well in the Bundesliga.
It's approx £55mil.

I also hope the rumours on Mama this morning are accurate. That the club have decided to loan him out next season, or maybe sell if the right offers came in.

Aside from him being a wrong'un, Sancho is very slow.
Chalobah is going to Como.
Quansah? Let's see how he does for another year. I am not convinced he'll ever be good enough for us though. He doesn't have that mental edge.
