Liverpool are reportedly intensifying their efforts to sign Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain before the transfer window closes.
According to the report, Ibrahim Mbaye has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with Liverpool and is ready to make the move to Anfield. The next challenge for the Reds is reaching an agreement with PSG over the transfer fee.
Meanwhile, Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool’s priority target. The 23-year-old is reportedly waiting for his future to be resolved and is currently not involved with PSG’s squad. Liverpool are said to be in active discussions regarding both players.
Liverpool are looking to strengthen their attacking options, particularly out wide. With Luis Díaz having left last season and Mohamed Salah also no longer at the club, manager Andoni Iraola is reportedly keen to add more quality and depth to the flanks.
Barcola and Mbaye could provide Liverpool with pace, creativity and attacking depth. However, signing both players would reportedly require a significant financial investment, with PSG expected to demand substantial fees.
The report also notes that Liverpool have been linked with Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh, suggesting the club are exploring several options as they look to strengthen their attack.
For Mbaye and Barcola, a move away from PSG could also offer the opportunity for more regular first-team football, particularly if they are unlikely to feature consistently in Paris this season.
In short: Liverpool are pushing for a potential double deal, with Mbaye reportedly already agreeing personal terms, while Barcola remains the club’s main priority. The key hurdle now is negotiating transfer agreements with PSG.
