RB Leipzig expect Paris Saint-Germain to rival Liverpool with a bid for Yan Diomande.
Liverpool have had an opening offer of €100m turned down for Diomande, with Leipzig determined to retain the winger for another season at least.
The 19-year-old scored 12 goals and provided eight assists in the Bundesliga last season, make an instant impression following his €20m arrival from Leganes.
Leipzig snubbed an offer of five times that initial investment in Diomande, though Liverpool are set to return with a new proposal.
However, German outlet BILD are reporting that Leipzig are confident the fee can be pushed up via a bidding war.
Leipzig believe that PSG will submit a rival offer to Liverpool, with the back-to-back European champions also keen on the Ivorian teenager.
PSG’s pursuit perhaps hinges on the future of Bradley Barcola. The France international has been linked with a potential exit in search of more minutes, with both Arsenal and Liverpool having monitored his situation.
Liverpool’s interest in Barcola looks to have cooled, following the €40m signing of Victor Munoz from Osasuna.
