Football gossip: Liverpool eye Diomande, Arsenal face PSG competition

Liverpool have stepped up their interest in RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, having made contact with the German club regarding a potential move. Although Leipzig are currently reluctant to sell the 19-year-old, the situation is complicated by interest from Paris Saint-Germain, with reports suggesting the player may prefer a move to the French capital.

Arsenal are also facing competition from PSG in the transfer market, as both clubs look to sign 19-year-old Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi and Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez. Meanwhile, Cologne winger Said El Mala has informed Brentford that he is not interested in a move to the Premier League side, despite a significant 50 million euro offer from the club.

In other developments, Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella is exploring options to leave Stamford Bridge, with Atletico Madrid reportedly preparing an opening bid. Juventus are looking for at least 30 million euros for full-back Andrea Cambiaso, who has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Barcelona.

Dusan Vlahovic is set to depart Juventus at the end of June after deciding against signing a contract extension. In response to his impending exit, Juventus have revived their interest in Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta and Atletico Madrid forward Alexander Sorloth as they look to bolster their attacking options.
