After joining Leipzig from Leganes last summer, Diomande enjoyed a breakthrough campaign, registering 13 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.
His performances have attracted interest from several elite clubs, with Liverpool and PSG among the sides most strongly linked with a move.
Liverpool are expected to strengthen their attacking options following Mohamed Salah’s departure, while PSG are exploring additions amid uncertainty surrounding Bradley Barcola’s future.
PSG Admission Raises Doubts Over Liverpool Move
While speculation surrounding his future continues to grow, Diomande’s latest comments appear to have handed PSG a significant advantage in the race for his signature.
Speaking to French media, the Ivory Coast international admitted he has supported the French champions since childhood due to his family’s connection with the club.
Diomande revealed that his father is a PSG supporter and described the Ligue 1 giants as a club he has always admired.
He also acknowledged that adapting to life in Paris would be easier due to the language and familiarity with the culture.
Despite his admiration for PSG, the Leipzig star stopped short of making any firm commitment regarding his future.
Instead, he insisted his full focus remains on the upcoming World Cup before any transfer decisions are made, reports Liverpool.
Liverpool remain firmly interested and could still present an attractive sporting project, particularly with opportunities for regular first-team football potentially available.
