Overview
- Liverpool submitted fresh bids on Monday targeting Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye as late‑window talks intensified.
- Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano said negotiations for Barcola remain active and that Liverpool are still working to close the gap with PSG.
- PSG left both players out of the Trophée des Champions squad and coach Luis Enrique suggested the club may look for other solutions when a player is unhappy, a move read as signalling possible departures.
- The two clubs face a major valuation gap with PSG reportedly asking a combined fee near £172 million and Goal reporting Liverpool’s improved offer of about €135 million for Barcola.
- Liverpool have already strengthened their spine this summer with Jeremy Jacquet, Victor Munoz and Ronald Araujo and now seek attacking reinforcements while talks continue and no agreement has been confirmed.
