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.
