After Yan Diomande chose PSG, Liverpool will have to look elsewhere in their search for offensive reinforcements. Now there are two new names on the block – in addition to Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola. – Transfermarkt believes the 23-year-old left winger is worth 70 million euros.
Liverpool have lost hope of signing 19-year-old Diomande, who will instead go to PSG. That opens the door for Bradley Barcola to leave Paris – and Liverpool are monitoring the situation closely. But the Frenchman is not the only option.

Said El Mala – Cologne’s German talent
According to TeamTalk, Liverpool are considering Cologne striker Said El Mala. The 19-year-old had a strong season with 13 goals and five assists in 36 games. He has played mostly on the left wing, but also as a striker, attacking midfield and right winger.
El Mala was close to a move to Brentford earlier in the window, but it fell through. Now Liverpool could be on their way in. However, the transfer is complicated by the fact that his brother Malek El Mala wants to follow him to the same club. Newcastle are also interested.
Transfermarkt believes Said El Mala is worth €45 million.
Bazoumana Touré – Ivorian super talent
The other name is Hoffenheim star Bazoumana Touré. The 20-year-old from Ivory Coast recorded five goals and 12 assists in 32 games last season. He mainly plays on the left wing, but has also substituted on the right side and as a striker.
Touré is currently in the World Cup with the Ivory Coast, and is seen as a long-term project for Liverpool – like Rio Ngumoha. Cody Gakpo and Victor Munoz are expected to be the more established options.
Bazoumana Touré is worth €40 million, according to Transfermarkt
Liverpool will have to adapt
Liverpool now have to adjust after the loss of Diomande. Both Barcola, El Mala and Touré are real options – but it remains to be seen who will be the next to wear the red shirt.
