Can Carra, Robbo, the Fields confirm what’s going on with Diomande, reading a lot now he prefers PSG and it’s not looking good for us. I know they went out on a limb and said it’s done to Liverpool but since this has all come out are we still confident???
04 Jun 2026 11:11:36
What I have read, according to Fabrizio Romano, is that Liverpool could sign Yan Diomande next week as the RB Leipzig winger wants to sort his future before the World Cup.
04 Jun 2026 11:13:53
They have all come out and said what they know about Diomande - that he'd sign for us. Or at least Robbo and Carra have. Whether he does or not is another matter.
04 Jun 2026 11:14:29
Florian Plettenberg is saying Diomande hasn't given commitment to anyone yet but says we're pushing hard to get a deal done before the World Cup.
04 Jun 2026 11:15:53
Briefly.
Magnes Akilouche is in advanced talks with PSG.
Campos originally baulked at the costs associated for Diomande and turned to other options, leaving the door open for Liverpool to get a deal done.
Agency disputes and image right issues are a couple of the complexities in this transfer.
Not a straightforward deal.
If PSG decide to enter the race, they will cut the cord on Akilouche, and it could likely see one of Barcola or Mbaye leave.
I still believe Liverpool can and will conclude the transfer. We are working very hard on it and have been for some time.
Ta.

Cheers, Carra.
04 Jun 2026 11:23:41
Tanks, Carra
Where you say "we are working very hard on it" it seems you might actually work for the club? :)
04 Jun 2026 11:27:49
Thanks so much, Carra. Love the detailed info.
04 Jun 2026 11:27:55
Getting hard on it, LFC aint the only one getting hard on this one!
04 Jun 2026 11:29:17
Thanks, Carra... Hopefully we can get this one over the line.
04 Jun 2026 11:38:59
Cheers, Cara.

RD, I use We when referring to the club, as in 'We were in a mess at all levels of the club during last season.' I use it due to a feeling of belonging, 'we' are the club, the players, the fans.
04 Jun 2026 11:51:27
Thanks for the information, Cara.
Is PSG targeting Magnes Aquiluce?
Is Liverpool targeting Diomande?
Or are both Liverpool and PSG targeting Diomande and Magnes Aquiluce?

I've just read his comments on how his dad supports PSG. His dad must support a few clubs, as he said a few months back that his dad supported us.
04 Jun 2026 11:55:51
Thanks for jumping in to give us all a bit more context, Carra.
It's very easy for lots on here to see something on Twitter (X) and instantly need to come on here for re-assurances!
04 Jun 2026 11:57:59
Nice one, Carra.
04 Jun 2026 12:18:29
Wish we'd of signed Semionyo, that would of put an end to all this filthy minded inuendo.
04 Jun 2026 12:24:35
If the mooted fee is correct (120mil) and he's playing us off against PSG, then we should look elsewhere. That amount of money is ridiculous for someone that has never kicked a ball in the Prem, and at that age.
We should be using the money to sign Anderson instead. I can't believe we're not all over that, as he's exactly the sort of player we need in that midfield.
04 Jun 2026 12:25:53
Calm down, Lofty, was in jest as in the smiley face.
Maybe he does work for the club, who knows? Certainly not you, that's for sure.
04 Jun 2026 12:58:50
RD, I've never tried to find out where our ITKs get their sources from, so not sure why you think I'm claiming I know anything, so the passive aggressive end to your reply is pretty much wasted text.
04 Jun 2026 13:09:03
Not really, as I said, no one knows.
04 Jun 2026 13:19:07
From my end. Rumours in Germany point to PSG, but people close to RBL say we are actively negotiating, not PSG. At this moment we are in the driving seat, but, as Carra said above, it's not an easy deal to make.
04 Jun 2026 13:20:07
To be fair, I was a PSG fan last weekend.
04 Jun 2026 13:23:28
I don't really like Diamonde. Reminds me of Gervinho.
04 Jun 2026 13:35:49
I've a feeling it'll be PSG in which case we'll have Akilouche. ?
04 Jun 2026 13:37:06
Thanks, Carra...
04 Jun 2026 13:37:44
Thanks, Carra & Thefields. This site is lucky to have your insider knowledge shared.
04 Jun 2026 14:13:13
Cafu, does he remind you of Gervinho because he's from Ivory Coast and is a winger? Seems like a really lazy comparison.
With the ball he actually reminds me more of Daniel Sturridge in terms of how he moves the ball at pace whilst keeping his head up, but also how he shifts the ball to one side and hits it early with no back lift. Like Sturridge, he tends to beat players with chops and fast change of direction rather than fancy flicks or tricks. Another thing he has in common is how he tends to finish with a firm side foot rather than putting his laces through the ball like Gerrard/Szoboszlai mainly did, or bending a shot in like Salah/Suarez mainly did.
Diomande even scored a couple this season where he just hammered a loose ball into the roof of the net, which was another trademark of Sturridge's. I know that might be a strange comparison as Diomande is a winger and Sturridge was a striker, but in possession they just look very similar to me.
Without the ball, Diomande is more like Luis Diaz though, in that, as soon as the ball is lost, he's off hunting to win it back. He'll scrap for possession if he has to and he'll press like he has a 3rd lung.
The guy's a top talent. If it's between him or Barcola, I'd prefer Barcola, but only because Barcola is more battle hardened in the Champions League. Ideally, I want both!
04 Jun 2026 14:30:34
Cafu, based around your posts over the last 48 hours, is there anything the club are planning to do that you do like?
04 Jun 2026 16:16:53
It's Harry, lofty, he only comes here to criticise the club because he doesn't get the bites on the Man City board.
04 Jun 2026 16:51:31
Diomande over Barcola any day of the week for me, MK. Barcola gives me overhyped vibes that if he wasn't a PSG player, no one would be talking much about him.
04 Jun 2026 17:24:07
Zed, Oh no you didn't?
