Liverpool Target Double Transfer for PSG Stars Mbaye and Barcola

Liverpool’s rebuild up front is gathering pace, and Paris is firmly in their sights.

With Mohamed Salah gone to Trabzonspor, the club’s attack suddenly looks lighter, less menacing, and far more reliant on what remains of Jürgen Klopp’s old guard. That unease has pushed Liverpool towards a strikingly ambitious idea: a double move for Paris Saint-Germain duo Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola.

According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are in the race for Senegal winger Mbaye, facing competition from Manchester City and Tottenham. The interest is not casual. There is a growing feeling inside Anfield that the current forward line lacks the depth and explosiveness required to compete across a full Premier League and European campaign.

The solution on the table is aggressive. Liverpool are considering an offer that would bring both of PSG’s rapid wide forwards to Merseyside in one hit. It would be a statement, a reset of the attacking hierarchy in a single window.

The obstacle is obvious: price. PSG are expected to demand more than £150 million for the pair in the current summer market, a figure that would test any club’s resolve, even one as financially robust as Liverpool. For the French champions, Mbaye and Barcola have largely been reduced to supporting roles, spending long stretches on the bench behind more established names. For Liverpool, that looks less like a warning sign and more like an opportunity.

This is the kind of market moment top clubs try to exploit. Two young, quick, hungry forwards, underused in Paris, potentially unleashed in England.

Liverpool’s recruitment team now face a familiar question: do they push hard, pay big, and reshape the front line in one sweeping move, or look elsewhere and risk watching Mbaye and Barcola explode in another club’s colours?
