Overview
- Reports say Liverpool agreed personal terms with 18‑year‑old Ibrahim Mbaye and on Monday submitted a reportedly improved €135m (£115m) offer to Paris Saint‑Germain for Bradley Barcola.
- French outlets and transfer reporters say PSG have lowered Barcola’s asking price from earlier demands and talks are now focused on a club‑to‑club fee rather than player consent.
- Sources estimate the pair could cost Liverpool roughly £150m‑£170m in total with many outlets citing an approximate combined outlay near £155m and Mbaye’s fee viewed as substantially smaller than Barcola’s.
- Liverpool’s ability to complete either or both moves is tied to planned exits, with Curtis Jones linked to Inter Milan and Cody Gakpo reported close to an agreement with Tottenham that would free funds and open minutes on the wings.
- With the window closing soon, the key next steps to watch are PSG’s response to Liverpool’s new offer, whether add‑ons bridge the gap, and whether incoming deals are secured before any major departures are finalised.
