McAteer prefers Barcola over Diomande for Liverpool signing

Former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer has expressed his preference for Bradley Barcola as the winger to sign this summer over Yan Diomande. Both players were linked to Liverpool, but Barcola's reported experience, including two Champions League titles, gives him an edge according to McAteer. Personal terms with Barcola reportedly were agreed, but he chose Paris Saint-Germain. Diomande remains a target for Liverpool as the club looks to secure a marquee addition before the summer transfer window closes on September 1. Financial commitments for Barcola may exceed £115 million, challenging the Reds' pursuit.
