Liverpool are in the market for wide forwards this summer following Mohamed Salah’s exit.
The Reds are keen to add Spain international Victor Munoz but are in the market for a marquee addition to make up for the loss of Salah and his goals output.
It was hoped by those at Anfield that player could be RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, but now the Ivorian appears unattainable having reportedly decided on his next club.
Liverpool miss out on £100m-rated winger
The 19-year-old is reported to have chosen Paris Saint-Germain, convinced by the project in the French capital, according to The Athletic .
Liverpool’s fifth place finish last season, in contrast to PSG ’s back-to-back Champions League titles, is likely to have played a part in Diomande’s decision.
He is expected to complete his move to Paris once the Ivory Coast are eliminated from the World Cup.
Diomande and his international teammates face Norway in the Round of 32 on Tuesday. It is the first time the west African country has progressed beyond the group stage at the World Cup.

Liverpool are still expected to add a young, proven wide forward in the summer window, despite missing out on Diomande’s signature.
In FourFourTwo ’s opinion, whilst Diomande is passing up the opportunity to play in the Premier League, he stands a greater chance of winning major honours at Parc des Princes.
