Leipzig expect PSG to rival Liverpool bid for Diomande

RB Leipzig expect Paris Saint-Germain to rival Liverpool with a bid for Yan Diomande.

Liverpool have had an opening offer of €100m turned down for Diomande, with Leipzig determined to retain the winger for another season at least.

The 19-year-old scored 12 goals and provided eight assists in the Bundesliga last season, make an instant impression following his €20m arrival from Leganes.

Leipzig snubbed an offer of five times that initial investment in Diomande, though Liverpool are set to return with a new proposal.

However, German outlet BILD are reporting that Leipzig are confident the fee can be pushed up via a bidding war.

Leipzig believe that PSG will submit a rival offer to Liverpool, with the back-to-back European champions also keen on the Ivorian teenager.

PSG’s pursuit perhaps hinges on the future of Bradley Barcola. The France international has been linked with a potential exit in search of more minutes, with both Arsenal and Liverpool having monitored his situation.

Liverpool’s interest in Barcola looks to have cooled, following the €40m signing of Victor Munoz from Osasuna.
