Apparently we're very interested in Zabaryni with club looking at a loan with an option to buy around €40-45m. Player's keen but PSG hoping for closer to €60-65m and the option to be an obligation.
Personally, I'd be really happy with that and a loan with an option/obligation gives us much more financial wriggle room for other areas of the pitch. Hope this is one we can pull off.

Good defender that lad.
11 Jul 2026 20:46:16
60m euros? Deal. ✅
11 Jul 2026 21:08:39
This and Joao Gomes sounds good - fingers crossed.
11 Jul 2026 22:06:11
Agreed Who, Zabarnyi for EUR60m after a season on loan plus Joao Gomes for EUR50m is much better than Diomande for EUR110m in my opinion.
Two 'Premier League proven' young players in the spine of the team.
11 Jul 2026 22:09:25
Yes, excellent defender him. Would be very happy if this comes to fruition.
11 Jul 2026 22:27:05
Ron, I don’t get comparing Zabarnyi and Joao Gomes to Diomande's price. If our team under Klopp had prices next to them, Mane, Salah and Bobbie are the most valuable at their peak, because attacking players always are.
Virgil was a freak, but even his value was not at Salah's value, even if he was the better player.
11 Jul 2026 22:55:40
Be happy with Zabarnyi, but I'm not sold on Homes, to be honest. Good player, no doubt, but does he plug the gap in our midfield? I'm not sure.
11 Jul 2026 23:22:06
Agreed, Ron 100% - would be great if we could also find someone for right side attack at the same price and experience - completely understand your meaning about the Diamonde money. ??
I share many's opinions that Diamonde is not worth the money quoted - World Cup he didn't look like a big money player.
The Zabarnyi deal above and Gomes deals sound much more like it and covers positions we need depth in.
12 Jul 2026 00:24:42
Agreed, I am much more comfortable going for these two guys over Diomande with one season of actual numbers in football.
There has got to be other wingers out there we can move for that would fit us, that don't cost 100 million plus.
12 Jul 2026 00:41:43
With you, Snoots.
I'd even take Szobs as RW with Elliott and Frimpong as backup, reinforce midfield and RB. (I'm no expert and many would disagree with me on this - but am throwing another hypothetical out there with shoulders shrugging.)
Zabarnyi and Gomes are a good start and we get a lot more bang for our buck than the fee for Diamonde.
12 Jul 2026 01:06:07
I would absolutely love that guy for his age, that is a bargain and he's worked with Iraola, making the deal so much better.
12 Jul 2026 01:48:19
Hopefully, we can get Zaire-Emery with him.
12 Jul 2026 01:01:20
Garbage. We require a top level RW without doubt to replace Salah. Anybody who thinks that any of our incumbents can fill that void is in a delusional state. The club has money. Spend it on the best we can buy. If we don't we'll not be challengers.
12 Jul 2026 04:59:20
Time to get Shaqiri back.
12 Jul 2026 06:25:00
Gomes is exactly what we need. He is a pit-bull who wins possession regularly.
He will tear it up.
12 Jul 2026 08:34:09
Both Gomes and Zabarnyi would be excellent additions. We need a massive influx of pace to the rw, though. The ability to stretch defences and players who can carry the ball at pace is a must.
12 Jul 2026 10:25:37
Zabarnyi would be great to help jacket fit in, would be a great move, and a possible new partnership. Sacre Bleu.
12 Jul 2026 10:29:38
Correct, Keviniho. We need both a top quality RW and RB. We don't have either at the club currently. Zabyarni and Gomes are just the start of what is needed. If either come to us, of course. I don't have any opinion on Gomes tbh.
I never paid much attention to him whilst at Wolves. Zabyarni, however, was impressive whilst at Bournemouth, I always thought. I believe that the club will get the window right this time around, especially with Gordon's oversight.
12 Jul 2026 11:09:30
Zabyarni and Gomes would be a great start, then we need a top player to replace Salah. Who? Not sure, Olise would be the top choice but I doubt if that happens. Maybe if we play 4231, Sobs on the right of 3 solves the problem.
12 Jul 2026 11:14:41
I have no idea whether rumours are accurate or not, but I will say this.
It would be a top signing. He's still young and... he's really good at winning aerial duels and always getting first contact.
Tall and strong.
Definitely worth signing, so as I said, I hope it's not just talk and it's actual.
12 Jul 2026 11:22:51
Postklopp, while I appreciate your point, I don't think our problem last year was winning aerial duels and getting first contact. Virgil and Ibou last year led the league in that respect. It was losing the second balls that was our big problem after Virgil and Ibou tried to head the ball away from danger up the field.
Having center halves that are incredibly strong in the air is a Liverpool prerequisite, though. That's true.
12 Jul 2026 13:36:17
PB, this is where Lens' Mamadou Sangare is at his best. One of his superpowers is winning loose balls after headers and passing to a teammate.
12 Jul 2026 17:27:48
"Jars Out" if we get Zabarnyi had a good partnership with Kerkez in the back four at the Cherries, reasonable fee, possibly Bournemouth receive add on's for his next transfer? Reminds me of Jack Charlton in his no nonsense manner of clearing the decks. Shankly wanted Charlton (WC winner) before Ron Yeats.
If we run into PSG in the future he will have prior/useful knowledge of tactics, player movements etc.
Gomes will improve to other levels with better players around him, and a far better Coach/Manager pointing him in the right direction.
Can't understand Diamonde. He will not be an automatic choice every game. Barcola, Doue, Dembele. If Barcola goes he will be replaced by another top talent. Dembele is only just 29, 30 in May 2027, will probably go on to Mo's age 34 before he is not fit for purpose. He will probably only play against all the lesser teams in French Ligue 1, to rest the above for bigger games in UCL. He needs games at his age, as Nyoni/Rio/Elliot can point out to him?
