Journalist reveals Liverpool's plan to find a winger has changed after Jan Diomande's deal chose PSG.

Liverpool's summer transfer plans have had a slight change of direction following recent developments regarding RB Leipzig's wide receiver Jan Diomande. According to Gregg Evans (The Athletic), Diomande is on Liverpool's interest list. But now he has decided that if he were to transfer, PSG is his preferred destination. This makes Liverpool's ideas have to be adjusted according to the situation. However, Liverpool's recruitment team isn't relying on just one goal. And the team has already signed a contract with Victor Muñoz. As a result, efforts to strengthen the offensive line will continue with other options on the list. According to the report, Liverpool's shortlist also includes Yangkuba Minteh (Brighton), Side El Mala (FC Koln) and Matillas Fernandez Pardo (Lille). There is also interest in PSG's Bradley Barcola and the situation of Crisencio Summerville has also been considered. Having multiple profiles on the list is part of the club's recruitment model, which is prepared in many ways for the unexpected with their main target. Aside from the winger position, Evans points out that Liverpool are also in need of a new right-back and midfield reinforcement. The need for these positions may increase if certain players are released during the window. The performance of Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo in the World Cup is also a factor that gives hope to the club. The pair have regained their confidence after a difficult performance in the previous season. Especially Esak's playing where maintaining his physical condition is as important as his personal performance. Kakpo had two goals and an assist in the group stage. But their performance in the knockout stages will determine whether they carry the momentum into pre-season. Off the field, Kakpo has been praised for his professionalism after a difficult personal situation.

Outbound transfers also have the potential to strengthen the squad, with Evans identifying Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa as the two most likely to leave this summer. But the pair still need to talk to new manager Andoni Iraola first. Media also report that Inter Milan made two offers for Jones. The latest offer is around €25 million, but both offers are lower than Liverpool's asking price. Therefore, further negotiations may still be required. Harvey Elliott's future remains uncertain. He wants the chance to play regularly next season and will evaluate his options as we get closer to the start of the team's pre-season. Overall, The Athletic's Gregg Evans sums up Liverpool's approach to planning with layered shortlists, rather than focusing all on a single goal. Even though Diomande's trend towards PSG will be a disappointment. But Liverpool look ready with other options. And there is still work to be done, including adding wings.
