Yann Diomande has chosen Paris Saint-Germain, forcing Liverpool to rethink their plans to strengthen on the wings. With Salah's departure confirmed and Muñoz already signed, whether the Reds will open direct talks with Barcola has become one of the key questions of this summer transfer window.
Liverpool legend Fowler believes the Reds should sign former Chelsea player Pulisic to replace Salah; meanwhile, RB Leipzig winger Diomande is more inclined to join Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool's total bid of around €100 million has been rejected.
Liverpool's opening bid has been rejected by RB Leipzig, but the Reds remain ready to step up their pursuit of winger Diomande and have alternative options lined up.
Liverpool's €100m bid for Diomande has been turned down by Leipzig, with the player keen to leave and the club determined to keep him; the World Cup could prove decisive before the transfer window closes.
Liverpool have paid in full to trigger Munoz's release clause and are pushing ahead with four targets including Diomande and Barcola, as Slot's front-line rebuild gathers pace.
Liverpool are keen to include Gakpo as a makeweight in a deal for RB Leipzig rising star Diomande, but the player is strongly inclined to stay this summer and the Bundesliga club are demanding a club-record fee in excess of €130m.
Liverpool have made progress on terms for Diomande and contacted RB Leipzig, while a free-agent return for Fekash is also advancing.
With Salah gone, the Reds are targeting two new wingers, Gakpo has been cleared for sale, and exit talk involving Alisson and Van Dijk is also heating up.
