Premier League
Despite approaching other wingers, Liverpool’s top priority remains securing the signature of Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola, while teammate Ibrahim Mbaye remains of interest. (Source: Football Insider)
PSG’s asking price of $82 million (£60 million) is seen as too high by all of Mbaye’s suitors. Liverpool have agreed personal terms with the 18-year-old but have no desire to pay that much. (Source: Fabrice Hawkins)
With Liverpool struggling to wrap up a deal for Barcola, they have closed the door to selling Cody Gakpo to Tottenham Hotspur. The chance of the Dutchman leaving is almost zero without Barcola arriving. (Source: Joost Blaauwhof)
