Not for any price! Brentford shut the door on Liverpool signing Senegalese defender

Brentford have taken an uncompromising stance on the future of their Senegalese left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf, making it clear to Liverpool that a move for the player is completely off the table.

Details: According to respected British outlet Football Insider, the Bees’ hierarchy have made it clear to the Merseyside club that the 21-year-old wing-back is not for sale this season at any price. Brentford are categorically unwilling to part with their high-profile new signing, whom the club only brought in last summer on a five-year deal.

Brentford see the speedy Senegalese international as a key figure in their long-term project and believe that gradually integrating him into the team will bring maximum benefit on the pitch. Liverpool, meanwhile, will have to turn their attention to other candidates to strengthen the left flank, as breaking through the London club’s defensive wall on this issue has proved impossible.

It is worth noting that El Hadji Malick Diouf joined Brentford in August 2026 from West Ham, for whom he registered 5 assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season. Transfermarkt values the Senegal international at €35 million.
