The Athletic just said Diomande wants PSG.
Gutted.
28 Jun 2026 19:55:04
Exactly what I said earlier and yet some on here saying LFC bid accepted!!
28 Jun 2026 19:56:21
Disaster.
28 Jun 2026 19:56:43
Just seen that, painful news.
28 Jun 2026 19:58:07
Hughes for the win!
28 Jun 2026 20:01:37
What the heck is going on!!!!!
28 Jun 2026 20:05:39
The Athletic also said Slot was staying and Newcastle wouldn't sell Isak.
Take it all with a pinch of salt, they just want your clicks.
28 Jun 2026 20:05:40
No worries, bring in El Mala & Barcola and use the spare dosh on a better CM & RB.
28 Jun 2026 20:05:49
They might have had a bid accepted and player didn't want to come to us.
28 Jun 2026 20:06:17
100 million for a back up is quite a move even for PSG. Double blow if it means Barcola to Arsenal.
Point that YD cash in the direction of Bournemouth for Rayan? I really can't think of anyone else for the right. Minteh would be a fine squad player but he hasn't the quality to constantly weave around low blocks.
28 Jun 2026 20:06:43
Just read the report. David Ornstein says he's up for the project.
Looks like we just did all the ground work for PSG to have a tap in.
Fed up now!
28 Jun 2026 20:08:06
Ornstein has confirmed this. We will be going in for Barcola.
28 Jun 2026 20:09:12
Ornstein and Romano saying the same.
28 Jun 2026 20:09:40
The Athletic... brilliant. I'll stick with our ITK's ta. Exactly what the long term followers will do. Cheers anyway Chaz.
28 Jun 2026 20:10:09
It's all speculation, guys. Enjoy the show.
Personally, I'm more fascinated with what the new manager can do with our current squad than what any new superstars can do.
So pleased that Iraola is getting this time with the fringe players and the whole setup without the distraction of the first team.
28 Jun 2026 20:10:56
My thoughts have been, for a while, that the price is too high for him. For me, he has world class potential, but he isn't world class. That was a risky fee to pay for such a short period playing at top level.
I've been on the fence a little, as I do think potential is big with him.
Let's hope homework is done, and the club has identified great alternatives. More money, hopefully, to spread around the team.
28 Jun 2026 20:12:09
So disappointing if true.
28 Jun 2026 20:12:41
So maybe the bid accepted was PSG!
Anyway, I'm sure a lot needs to be done and will get done in the transfer market.
28 Jun 2026 20:13:15
Some might have thought the bid was accepted. It's a rumour site where people share information. Don't take everything as gospel, and enjoy the site.
28 Jun 2026 20:13:22
Is this the same Athletic that consistently reported Slot would be our manager next season?
But, let's say if it is true, then who cares? It would just prove we've dodged a bullet in my opinion, so don't be gutted. If the lad wants to go play in a farmers league, sitting on a bench week in week out on a fortune in wages, it shows he wouldn't have what it takes to ever reach his full potential with us in the first place.
Plenty of other exciting targets out there like El Mala, Rayan, Barcola, etc, not to mention the talent we have in the academy like Morrison and Abe who haven't had an opportunity yet.
Just be patient, the future is bright.
28 Jun 2026 20:14:21
Oh well, get somebody in that wants to be here. Simple, really.
Apparently he wants the opportunity to win the Balon D'Or. Maybe phone a certain right back in Madrid for advice on that one.
28 Jun 2026 20:14:34
Chazdiehatz, the bid might have been accepted but the player may have preferred PSG instead.
28 Jun 2026 20:15:03
Ok, at least we know. Move on to next target.
Prem proven if possible, please.
28 Jun 2026 20:16:19
I think there's a very good chance the story is b******* after reading it.
Click bait to get angry Liverpool fans to click on their story?
28 Jun 2026 20:20:32
Liverpool can have had a bid accepted, and the player can still choose to move elsewhere. We have been in this position before.
28 Jun 2026 20:21:33
PSG won't pay the money - that deal will fall out of bed and then they'll come back to us cap in hand. Hope we tell them to do one if they do. ??
28 Jun 2026 20:22:31
Have faith, lads, the same Ornstein that said Slot was going nowhere.
28 Jun 2026 20:24:16
Source: Ornstein, who insisted multiple times that Slot would not be sacked. I'll be waiting for an update from one of our own.
28 Jun 2026 20:24:36
It seems to me that the boy doesn't know what he wants. Last week, he was a boyhood Liverpool fan whose father wanted him to play for Liverpool. The next day, the story was exactly the same except that PSG had replaced Liverpool. I just hope that Liverpool don't increase their offer but look elsewhere.
28 Jun 2026 20:11:14
Not sure what Carra was posting at 14:05 today saying a bid had been accepted? ?
28 Jun 2026 20:26:03
I believe Carra more than Ornstein.
For Liverpool to have even bid for the lad, there must have been some encouragement from his camp; not saying a player can't change their mind, and we've been down this road before, so who knows, but I don't think this is final just because of what Ornstein has said.
28 Jun 2026 20:27:55
Player opted for PSG and you can't really argue with that, guaranteed titles and 2 in a row in CL! Would have liked him at Liverpool, but at the fee being asked I'm not exactly gutted he isn't signing as it's an awful lot of money for a 19yo with little behind him.
Could well be a world beater, but could equally flop in the PL. Let's see who we switch our focus to!!
28 Jun 2026 20:29:00
Fantastic news if true. Nowhere near worth the money being mentioned.
28 Jun 2026 20:30:58
Barcola now obviously a must, but we still need a proper RW. Endrick, Bowen, Minteh, Kudus - one of those seems the best shouts.
28 Jun 2026 20:33:58
Wait... So we are going for El Mala, Barcola and Victor Munoz in just one window?
I mean, the three of them are young, talented and versatile, but also primarily left wingers...
I guess you can't have enough of them left wingers at Liverpool...
28 Jun 2026 20:40:47
Tbh, many of you are real football fans. Is the lad really worth 100m plus? If he was 40 to 60m, I could say ye ok, but we are talking about a massive amount to b paying for a player with potential. Rather we get Rayan, if not go get Bowen.
28 Jun 2026 20:41:24
Looks like Diomande's agency has just strung us along all this time, knowing he wants PSG.
But we move on... One player doesn't make a team.
28 Jun 2026 20:41:52
Chaz, you can have a bid accepted but the player doesn't want to join. Happens.
28 Jun 2026 20:44:07
Barcola has previously said he wants to play left wing for his next club, that's reason why he wants out, he's behind Doue & Kvaratskhelia.
28 Jun 2026 20:45:52
Not particularly interested in what the new manager can do with Frimpong at RW, Ron.
28 Jun 2026 20:46:09
Carra only said he thought a bid had been accepted. He didn't say who it was from. ?♂️
28 Jun 2026 20:50:01
Horribly overpriced for somebody with one good season in the Bundesliga.
Would be the most risky transfer we've ever done.
I would genuinely prefer we spread the money over a couple of new signings.
I'm sure this sounds like sour grapes now, but I think quite a few of us feel the same way, and I've been nervous about the price being rumoured.
For that kind of money, I would expect a ready-made world beater to be coming in.
I'm from what (little) I've seen, he's not even close to that level.
28 Jun 2026 21:13:13
Chaz, for one, Carra said "I think a bid has been accepted."
Plus, you can have a bid accepted, but the player chooses another club or to stay. It happened to us with Zubimendi. We had a bid accepted, he chose to stay.
28 Jun 2026 21:16:05
To be fair, Carra said a bid has potentially been accepted, didn't say which club. ?
28 Jun 2026 21:22:19
Perhaps a fee was agreed with Leipzeg and Liverpool, and then the player pulled the plug and decided he wanted PSG when they came in for him. PSG had to move players on and get their ducks in order before making their move. Guess we may never know.
Onwards and upwards! Lad has great potential but £100+ fee for 1 season of potential is a heavy investment. Wirtz had been player of the season twice before his move. Isak had a clear track record - no guarantees but Diomande was a risk.
28 Jun 2026 21:31:01
Dickie's bezzy, Alex Crook has confirmed it too for those in doubt.
For all those saying Rayan - he signed for Bournemouth for 25m a few months ago. Bournemouth now know how desperate we are for a RW and will ask for as close to £100m as possible.
I wonder how Big John would look at the sporting director for that potentially very expensive (50-75m) mistake? I'd be taking Dickie out on the boat if it were me.
28 Jun 2026 22:09:25
I couldn't care less if we sign him or not. The money being spoken about is insane.
I am just so happy Slot is gone, for me it is on par with winning a title. I feel like we have our club back.
28 Jun 2026 22:10:17
It's very simple for me, he either wants to play for Liverpool or he doesn't. If he doesn't, then I couldn't give a flying fish how fantastic or not he is, he isn't for us. Immediately move on.
