Liverpool have signed Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.
The France international, 23, has been the priority target all summer and Richard Hughes has got his man for a fee that could reach in excess of £120m.
Barcola prefers to play on the left - which means that while the 2024/25 Premier League champions have significantly augmented their forward options they are STILL without a natural high-quality right winger.
Mohamed Salah leaving for Trabzonspor has blown a hole in Andoni Iraola's squad and many players have been looked over as potential replacements.
Ismaila Sarr and Yankuba Minteh are two options currently in play although Ibrahim Mbaye has gone to Aston Villa - ending Liverpool's interest in the teenager.

Liverpool are making big changes to their attack.
Bradley Barcola is now primed to become the summer's headline arrival. The 23-year-old Frenchman is coming in from Paris Saint-Germain for a sizeable transfer fee that could reach £120m.
The two-time Champions League winner is joining Victor Munoz in a new-look Reds' attack under Andoni Iraola. Spain's FIFA World Cup winner was recruited for around £34m after Richard Hughes triggered his Osasuna release clause.
But Hughes and head coach Andoni Iraola are not done there.
More signings are planned before the window closes on Tuesday - including Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace and even Yankuba Minteh or Ibrahim Mbaye.

PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye (18) has eventually agreed to join Aston Villa, after the two clubs had thrashed out a €55m deal for the transfer of the Senegal international, according to RMC Sport. The player is expected to fly out to Birmingham this Saturday to undergo a medical and complete final formalities to sign for Unai Emery's UEFA Europa League winners. Mbaye is set to sign a five-year deal with the Villans.
RMC Sport understands that Aston Villa were long-time admirers of Mbaye. The Premier League side gradually made their interest known, until an agreement was found this Friday with PSG. RB Leipzig, Chelsea and Liverpool were also interested in making a move for Mbaye. The Reds withdrew from the race after PSG's initial demands approached €70m. Eventually, Aston Villa's outlay for Mbaye rises to €55m.

Liverpool's transfer plans have been questioned this summer and fan Sam Milne believes the Reds have been too "scattergun" in their approach for a new forward player.
Andoni Iraola's side have been linked to a host of new attackers, including Paris St-Germain duo Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, and have had offers knocked back for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh - and are now exploring a move for Crystal Palace's Isamila Sarr in the last week of the transfer window.
Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, Milne said: "I was surprised at first because if you look at the right wingers that Liverpool have been trying to sign all summer, they have all been very different.
"The reaction to the bid for Sarr has been quite negative. I don't think that's a reflection on Sarr himself because Liverpool fans have seen what he can do against us - I think he's scored six goals against Liverpool. It's more the difference in Sarr to the other players that have been linked.
"The rumours came out about Minteh and Liverpool put £60m in for him. An injured Minteh and a left-footed Minteh - which is interesting because Mohamed Salah was left-footed and Yan Diomande was both-footed, but Mbaye wasn't left-footed and neither is Sarr. That's where the worry starts to lie for Liverpool fans. What are we attempting?

Liverpool are expected to be busy in the final stages of this summer's transfer window.
Despite a poor midfield showing against Newcastle in Andoni Iraola's Premier League opener on Sunday the Reds are unlikely to go into the market for a specialist No6.
Instead the focus will be on improving the frontline further. Liverpool used Rio Ngumoha and Cody Gakpo as their wide forward starting options against the Toon at St. James' Park.
It's simply not enough for Iraola and sporting director Richard Hughes however - who are still reeling from the loss of Mohamed Salah on a free transfer to Trabzonspor.
Deals are live for several forward - per reports - with Yankuba Minteh and Ibrahim Mbaye said to be under consideration.

Liverpool are chasing wingers. Of that there is little doubt.
Deals are currently live for Bradley Barcola and Yankuba Minteh - while there is an outside chance of Ibrahim Mbaye also arriving.
Richard Hughes is at a critical juncture in the Barcola deal with negotiations now delicately poised with Paris Saint-Germain.
The French champions are seeking a record deal for the 23-year-old - who prefers to play on the left but who can also feature from the right. Minteh, 22, is a naturally right-sided option with the left-footer currently out injured.
Nonetheless the 2024/25 Premier League champions want a deal for the £70m-rated Gambian - who has already agreed terms with the Reds per reports.

Liverpool are not done remodelling the frontline for the 2026/27 season.
Victor Munoz has been brought in for £34m after Richard Hughes triggered the Spain FIFA World Cup winner's Osasuna release clause.
Plans are afoot meanwhile to sign at least two more wingers. One-v-one quality out wide was always the stated aim for the current transfer period - a need stepped up following Mohamed Salah's free transfer to Trabzonspor.
Bradley Barcola is the main focus - with Paris Saint-Germain holding out for a deal worth £145m before letting their France winger go.
PSG teammate Ibrahim Mbaye is another name mentioned with the two-time European champions seeking around £60m for the 18-year-old.

Liverpool targets Bradley Barcola (23) and Ibrahim Mbaye (18) are not expected to make PSG's matchday squad for their Ligue 1 opener against Rennes, according to Onze Mondial. The pair also sat out last week's Trophée des Champions against RC Lens. Both Barcola and Mbaye are expected to leave Les Parisiens in the final days of this summer transfer window. The France international is Liverpool's priority target to reinforce up front with talks reportedly making slow progress with the back-to-back UEFA Champions League winners.
Both Barcola and Mbaye took part in PSG's training session on Saturday, but they won't make Sunday's trip to Brittany. PSG were initially poised to host Rennes at Parc des Princes, but the ground's pitch has been hit with a fungal infection. The game will therefore be played at Roazhon Park. However, it remains to be seen whether PSG will host the return leg as Ligue 1.

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola believes his side do not have enough wingers for the start of the season - but is confident they will find a solution before the end of the transfer window.
Liverpool had a £50m bid for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh rejected earlier this week and have explored the possibility of a move for Paris St-Germain's Ibrahim Mbaye.
PSG's Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool's main target as they look to strengthen in the wide attacking areas before the transfer window concludes.
"As a manager, this is an easy one for me. I wanted the players for the first day on 13 July - everyone here and all the positions doubled with top-level players," said Iraola when asked about the transfer window.
"But you understand how the competition works, that (the) market is open and you start the competition. We have to adapt as coaches to this situation.

Yankuba Minteh has reportedly called his agent for an emergency meeting on Friday evening.
A reputable source on X (formerly Twitter) shared the update in question, following Liverpool's rejected £50m bid for the Gambia international this week.
The Merseysiders are looking to bolster the forward line with a minimum of two new options, with Bradley Barcola in line to be the club's marquee signing of the window.
To be clear, we're big fans of Yankuba Minteh and are excited about the prospect of what he could bring to this Andoni Iraola side.
However, we're simultaneously confused about Liverpool's strategy in the market, given that they apparently walked away from negotiations with PSG for Ibrahim Mbaye based on the 18-year-old's asking price.

PSG are trying to deal with two winger sales at once right now.
Both Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye have decided at the same moment that they're not getting enough football in Paris, and the summer additions of three further attackers has only convinced them further that they are better served moving on.
Liverpool are in for both of them, and while things are a little tangled up with Barcola (given his immense €140m asking price), things should be a little easier for Mbaye.

One trusted French journalist has hinted that Liverpool could be close to striking an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of Bradley Barcola.
Personal terms have already been agreed with the 23-year-old, who's been frozen out of the PSG squad along with fellow Reds-linked winger Ibrahim Mbaye until their respective futures are resolved.
The two clubs have yet to agree on a price for the France international, with some outlets claiming that the European champions are holding out for as much as £145m, but one respected source believes that the Merseysiders could strike a deal for significantly less than that.
Fabrice Hawkins has indicated that Liverpool's 'next written offer' for Barcola could be accepted by PSG, with the reporter expecting the eventual price to be in the range of £111m to £128m.
He told RMC Sport's After Foot podcast (via Anfield Sector): "Bradley Barcola wants to join Liverpool. PSG were informed earlier of his desire and it was accepted. There's no intention to keep Bradley Barcola. The sticking point has been the valuation, where they started at €170m.

Paris Saint-Germain are set to take a hardline stance on Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye amid intensifying speculation over the two wingers.
The France and Senegal forwards have both agreed personal terms with Liverpool over a potential move to Anfield, with the two clubs now locked in negotiations over the price of a prospective deal for either or both players.
They were both left out of the PSG squad for the defeat to Lens in the Trophée des Champions on Sunday, with Luis Enrique unwilling to discuss the duo's situations in his post-match press conference.
A report from TEAMtalk on Tuesday suggests that the weekend omission mightn't be in isolation, with an agreement between the head coach and the Parc des Princes hierarchy that neither Barcola nor Mbaye will play for the club while their futures remain unresolved.
That stance is expected to remain in place until there's greater clarity over their situations, thus leaving both players in limbo for the time being.

Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola appears to be moving towards a decisive stage, according to David Lynch, with the journalist expressing strong confidence over the PSG winger's prospects of ending up at Anfield.
Speaking to Dave Davis on Anfield Index's Media Matters podcast, Lynch was asked about developments after Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye were named in PSG's initial squad, then watched from the stands rather than featuring in the playing squad. Davis also referenced Luis Enrique's comments before the game: "When a player doesn't have a smile when coming here, it's better to look for another solution."
Lynch's ***** sment of Bradley Barcola was strikingly confident.
"The talks are ongoing. I wonder whether the next thing that we'll hear about this is a kind of done deal, to be honest, because the talks have been going on for a while. Everybody knows what's going on."
He then reduced the situation to its essential parts: "PSG are willing sellers. Liverpool are willing buyers."

Liverpool have been handed a potential double boost in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain forwards Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye after neither player was included in Luis Enrique's squad to face Lens in the Trophée des Champions.
Barcola and Mbaye were both unused substitutes in PSG's midweek Super Cup victory over Aston Villa but were then omitted altogether for Sunday's game, fuelling speculation that moves could be edging closer.
Liverpool have been strongly linked with both players, with reports suggesting Barcola has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with the Premier League champions. PSG are understood to value the France international at around £120m, while the combined cost of Barcola and Mbaye has reportedly been a stumbling block. Source: talkSPORT / The Mirror.
Manchester City are meanwhile considering another raid on Chelsea, with Portugal winger Pedro Neto emerging as a potential target.
According to talkSPORT, City are keen on the 26-year-old and could make a move depending on what happens with Savinho, who has been linked with Tottenham. City face competition from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, while Chelsea are believed to value Neto at around £70m.

Paris Saint-Germain forwards Bradley Barcola (23) and Ibrahim Mbaye (18) are both absent from Les Parisiens' squad to face Lens in the Trophée des Champions. The PSG duo are both the subject of interest from Liverpool as the Premier League club look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the closure of the summer transfer window.
The Merseyside outfit have been in active discussions with the Ligue 1 champions over signing both Barcola and Mbaye. However, as of yet, the Reds have been unable to strike an agreement with the French capital club for either of the forwards. PSG are demanding fees in the region of €200m to see the duo leave the Parc des Princes this summer. Nevertheless, with the pair absentees from Luis Enrique's squad on the hunt for their second trophy of the campaign, it could be sign that they could be on the move.
Over the weekend, PSG confirmed the arrivals of two new attackers. Mika Godts (21) arrived from Ajax, and World Cup winner Ferran Torres (26) has arrived from Barcelona. With the French club actively recruiting new attackers, Liverpool could be set to take advantage of a surplus of options in Paris, seeing the club needing to sell.

"Ibrahim Mbaye. Liverpool spoke with the agent of the player, Jorge Mendes, for several days.
"But my information is that [Liverpool] believe that signing Barcola and Mbaye means spending almost €200m (£171m). So that would be a crazy package to spend on two players.

Liverpool target Ibrahim Mbaye emerged as one of the most compelling subjects discussed by Dave Davis and Dr Phil Barts on the latest Transfer Market Metric podcast for Anfield Index, with pace, progression and work rate featuring prominently in their ***** sment.
Davis immediately made his feelings clear when introducing the 18 year old: "I like this kid." His enthusiasm centred particularly on Mbaye's acceleration, observing how "he will stand up his fullback and just burn him" and describing him as "exciting to watch".
Barts identified an attractive statistical combination in Mbaye's ability to advance possession.
"The beautiful mix he's got is he can progress the football by passing and carrying, right? is 96 percentile for carrying."
He added: "But he's also can pass it 83rd percentile progressively."

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has played down concerns surrounding Mason Mount after the midfielder was forced to leave the field early during the club's 1-1 pre-season draw against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
Mount's latest setback came less than 20 minutes into the contest, with the England player appearing to pick up a knock before being replaced by Tyler Fletcher.
The 27-year-old has endured a difficult spell since joining United from Chelsea in 2023, with a succession of fitness problems limiting his involvement and preventing him from establishing a consistent run in the side.
However, Carrick suggested there was no immediate reason for alarm, explaining that the decision to withdraw Mount was primarily precautionary.
"He got kicked. We just wanted to be careful and look after him. We've been lucky with injuries so far, so we wanted to be careful," Carrick told MUTV after the match.
Mount was subsequently seen walking without any obvious difficulty as he made his way towards the United team coach, providing further encouragement that the problem may not be serious.
Mount has made only 25 Premier League starts out of a possible 114 since arriving at Old Trafford, underlining the extent to which injuries have disrupted his time at the club.
Carrick was encouraged by United's overall showing against PSG, despite the French side taking the lead through Ibrahim Mbaye.
Bryan Mbeumo eventually restored parity for United, who created opportunities to take all three points against the reigning European champions.
"I enjoyed it. Good challenge. Slightly different with the way they play. We should've scored more goals. It's good for the boys sometimes to have to problem solve and find their own way, and I thought we did that. That prepares them for the season as well," Carrick said.
United have two more pre-season fixtures remaining before beginning their Premier League campaign against newly-promoted Hull City on August 22.

The 27-year-old has endured a difficult spell since joining United from Chelsea in 2023, with a succession of fitness problems limiting his involvement and preventing him from establishing a consistent run in the side.
However, Carrick suggested there was no immediate reason for alarm, explaining that the decision to withdraw Mount was primarily precautionary.
"He got kicked. We just wanted to be careful and look after him. We've been lucky with injuries so far, so we wanted to be careful," Carrick told MUTV after the match.
Mount was subsequently seen walking without any obvious difficulty as he made his way towards the United team coach, providing further encouragement that the problem may not be serious.
Mount has made only 25 Premier League starts out of a possible 114 since arriving at Old Trafford, underlining the extent to which injuries have disrupted his time at the club.
Carrick was encouraged by United's overall showing against PSG, despite the French side taking the lead through Ibrahim Mbaye.
Bryan Mbeumo eventually restored parity for United, who created opportunities to take all three points against the reigning European champions.
"I enjoyed it. Good challenge. Slightly different with the way they play. We should've scored more goals. It's good for the boys sometimes to have to problem solve and find their own way, and I thought we did that. That prepares them for the season as well," Carrick said.
United have two more pre-season fixtures remaining before beginning their Premier League campaign against newly-promoted Hull City on August 22.

Manchester United managed a creditable 1-1 draw with European champions Paris Saint-Germain in a Gothenburg friendly on Saturday but the result was overshadowed by an injury to Mason Mount.
The England midfielder, who joined United from Chelsea in 2023, has been hampered by injury problems since arriving at Old Trafford and he lasted less than 20 minutes on Saturday after starting against PSG.
Mount, 27, appeared to suffer a foot injury in Sweden and, following discussions with coaches on the touchline, left the field to be replaced by Tyler Fletcher.
Mount has been restricted to just 31 league appearances -- many of them as a substitute - during his first two seasons with United.
His side were 1-0 down to PSG at the time of Mount's injury, having gone behind in the second minute through an Ibrahim Mbaye goal even though the French giants were missing many of their star players.

Liverpool want to sign a record-breaking star and they're at the front of the queue to do so.
Liverpool's attack needs an injection of energy from the wing after a season in which they struggled badly to stretch teams. The Reds didn't have the pace dynamism to attack from wide areas, nor were they good enough on the counter-attack, and it has them shopping for new talent this summer.
Yan Diomande was the priority, of course, but he's now signed for Real Madrid. Now it's Bradley Barcola heading the shortlist - and the Reds are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain about a move.
But that's not all. Reports broke this week that Ibrahim Mbaye was wanted at Anfield and now it appears that they've gone straight to the front of the queue.
L'Equipe reports that both Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are pushing hardest to sign Mbaye right now. The winger is fully expected to move somewhere this summer, especially after PSG completed a deal for Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco.

Liverpool have been linked with countless opportunities for transfers to and from Anfield this summer.
Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande have been the two main players to dominate headlines but now, it feels like a deal for Ibrahim Mbaye could also be on the cards.
So, while many rumours about the future of Liverpool's team have been shared, the fact that no other deals apart from Victor Munoz's and Jeremy Jacquet's have gotten over the line yet is rather concerning.
However, as with anything in football, things can change in an instant and, by the end of the summer transfer window, an entirely new-look team could be under Andoni Iraola's ruling.
That is, especially since Liverpool are a sell-to-buy team.

Liverpool's summer transfer window is eventually starting to pick up the pace. It started well with the arrivals of Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz, but since then it has been radio silence for six weeks.
Now, Liverpool are in talks over a double raid on PSG to sign both Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye. Fabrizio Romano has provided a really positive update on the latter of those names…
Speaking on Give Me Sport's 'Market Madness' podcast, Romano claimed Liverpool are in the driving seat to sign the 18 year old.
He said: "There is genuine interest in Ibrahim Mbaye and there is a conversation happening with the player's new agent, Jorge Mendes."
"Bayer Leverkusen were pushing but now Liverpool lead the race for Mbaye. Let's see if they can reach a financial agreement with PSG."

Liverpool now have less than a month left of the 2026-27 summer transfer window.
Fans were expecting there to be plenty of noticeable change by now but, only Victor Munoz has been brought in so far.
And, even though the rumour mill is going into overdrive, it's still unclear which players are actually going to be brought in this summer.
Bradley Barcola and Ibrahima Mbaye are the two who seem to be the most likely to join at the moment but, for these moves to make financial sense, some players are obviously going to have to exit.
And now, two of the Reds' players seem destined to make the move away from Anfield.

In a recent post on X, RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins revealed that Liverpool are pushing to land Paris Saint-Germain talent Ibrahim Mbaye this summer. It has been mentioned that the Reds are eyeing a move to bring the Senegalese wide player to Merseyside this off-season.
Mbaye came through the youth ranks of PSG and did well to break into their first team last season. The Senegalese talent found the back of the net three times and secured a couple of ****** ists in 24 league matches for the French outfit in the previous campaign across all fronts.
The 18-year-old is currently one of the most gifted young wingers in Ligue 1. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Reds have set their sights on signing him in this transfer period.
His current contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for Liverpool to land him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Amid the ongoing pursuits of Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, Liverpool are also understood to hold a 'concrete interest' in a current Premier League winger.
The Reds have reportedly made an opening offer of €105m (£89.9m) plus add-ons for the France international, although that has been rejected by Paris Saint-Germain, who are seeking a fee in the region of £145m (BBC Sport).

Meanwhile, Merseyside chiefs are also 'pushing' to sign the Senegalese teenager, who's said to be 'keen' on a potential move to Anfield if PSG are amenable to selling him.
Should neither of those two arrive at Liverpool, TEAMtalk reported that Yankuba Minteh is an alternative target in whom the Reds hold a 'concrete interest'.

Liverpool have been linked with a prospective move for teenage Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye.
In late July, Graeme Bailey reported for TEAMtalk that the 18-year-old has been offered to the Reds, with a 'growing belief within the player's entourage' that an exit from the Parc des Princes 'would be the best decision for his long-term development'.
On Tuesday night, Fabrice Hawkins revealed (as later corroborated by Fabrizio Romano) that the Merseysiders are now 'pushing' to sign the youngster, who's believed to be 'keen' on a potential move to Anfield.
If Liverpool are to swoop for Mbaye, they'll be hoping to win big from that transfer, and you can win big from high-quality slot games with gamblerina.
Unlike his PSG teammate and fellow Reds target Bradley Barcola, the 18-year-old is primarily a right winger, a position where Iraola's squad is in need of reinforcement in the final month of the transfer window.

Ibrahim Mbaye wants out of PSG, and the Parisians already have interest from Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen in their winger.
If you enjoy PSG Talk coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a preferred source on Google to make us a favourite and see more of our content.
Ibrahim Mbaye's move away from PSG is getting closer and closer as August progresses.
The situation has got pretty messy in the last few weeks, with journalist Romain Molina exposing some pretty damaging stuff about the winger's claims and demands. That will have hurt the young talent's value, and it's also seemingly convinced PSG that there's no point persisting with him.
