Liverpool<\/a> have received a huge transfer boost as Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly decided to pull out of the race to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.<\/p>\n

The Reds announced back in March that Mohamed Salah would be allowed to leave the club this summer to pursue a new challenge elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> have already brought in one winger in the form of Victor Munoz from Spanish side Osasuna for around \u20ac40m \u2013 but they are still looking for a top-class winger to replace Salah.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig\u2019s Diomande had been their top target from the beginning of the summer with Liverpool even having a \u20ac100m (\u00a385m) bid turned down.<\/p>\n

However, last month the Reds suffered a huge blow when it was revealed by widespread reports that Diomande had chosen to move to PSG this summer.<\/p>\n

That has led to weeks of talks between the French champions and RB Leipzig with the German side keen to hang on to the Ivory Coast international for another season.<\/p>\n

And now Liverpool could have a chance to finally bring Diomande to Anfield with Ivorian journalist Malick Traor\u00e9 insisting that PSG \u2018will pass\u2019 on the Leipzig star as Bournemouth\u2019s Eli Junior Kroupi is their new top target.<\/p>\n

Traor\u00e9 posted on X<\/a>: \u2018Due to the complexity of the file (image rights\u2026), PSG will pass on the Yan Diomand\u00e9 file\u2026 New target of the European champion: Eli Kroupi Jr.\u2019<\/p>\n

Traore also revealed<\/a>: \u2018Yan Diomande is currently under contract with two different agencies, Maxidel and Roc Nation which is currently representing the player. \u2014 The situation has been referred to CAS (court of arbitration for sport), a transfer looks complicated until the matter is resolved. The Ivorians former agency was in negotiations with Liverpool F.C & Bayern Munich, while Roc Nation his current agency is in talks with PSG has been pushing for the player to join the club.\u2019<\/p>\n

Arsenal have joined Liverpool in race for Diomande<\/p>\n

Arsenal have also entered the race in recent days after missing out on Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers, Fabrizio Romano revealed over the weekend that the Gunners had made enquiries.<\/p>\n

Romano said on his YouTube channel<\/a>: \u201cThen talking about the wingers\u2019 market, we have to see how Arsenal will react \u2013 wingers and strikers \u2013 because this depends on opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, just to give you some context, Arsenal over the last few days made some checks with the agents of Yan Diomande from Red Bull Leipzig to understand if there was still a chance to enter the deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut don\u2019t forget Diomande has an agreement on personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain, and Paris Saint-Germain are in negotiations with Leipzig.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, for example, Arsenal made some calls to understand the situation of Diomande, just to give you context of what happened over the recent days.\u201d<\/p>\n
