Liverpool and Arsenal have both explored the possibility of signing RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, although Paris Saint-Germain remain ahead in the race for his signature.
The 19-year-old’s future is still unresolved, with the French champions yet to agree a transfer fee despite making progress in talks with the player.

Diomande’s rapid development has made him one of the most sought-after young attackers in Europe.
His pace, confidence in one-on-one situations and ability to contribute goals have attracted several elite clubs, but Leipzig’s valuation of more than €100 million represents a major obstacle.
The German club are also in a strong negotiating position because Diomande remains under contract until 2030.
That means Liverpool, Arsenal and PSG may have to decide whether they are prepared to pay a premium now or risk allowing his value to increase further.

According to a source on X, Arsenal contacted Diomande’s representatives to understand whether there was still an opportunity to enter the race. Their approach appears to have been an initial check rather than a sign that a formal offer is imminent.
The update was also covered by Just Arsenal, which reported that Diomande has already agreed personal terms with PSG. However, the absence of a club-to-club agreement means the transfer is not yet complete.
Liverpool’s interest has progressed further. Sky Sports reported that the Reds contacted Leipzig before seeing a proposed €100 million package rejected.
A separate Sky Sports report later claimed Liverpool had begun considering alternatives, including PSG winger Bradley Barcola.
