Liverpool Target Double Transfer for PSG Stars Barcola and Mbaye

The clock is ticking on the transfer window, and Liverpool look ready to finally hit the accelerator.

Jeremy Jacquet, Victor Munoz and Ronald Araujo are already through the door, but the squad still feels incomplete. The attack, in particular, is screaming out for reinforcements.

At the top of the wishlist remains PSG forward Bradley Barcola. Talks over the Frenchman are ongoing, with any deal expected to clear the £100m mark. That kind of fee would place him among the most expensive signings in Liverpool’s history and underline just how hard the club are pushing to reshape their frontline.

But Barcola is not the only Parisian in Liverpool’s sights.

Mbaye Move Gathers Pace

According to L'Equipe, Liverpool are preparing a concrete proposal for PSG forward Ibrahim Mbaye, with an offer expected to land in Paris by the end of next week.

The initial suggestion of a €40m price tag now looks low. Reports in France indicate the figure will be higher, yet Mbaye would still come in significantly cheaper than Barcola. For a club needing multiple attacking options, that matters.

Andoni Iraola is working with a squad that still has a Mohamed Salah-shaped void in it. The right-hand side of Liverpool’s attack, once defined by the Egyptian’s goals and gravity, remains unsettled. Mbaye is viewed as a player who could help plug that gap, offering another option in the final third as the team adjusts to life after its talisman.

The pressure on Liverpool’s recruitment team is only growing.

Cody Gakpo is increasingly tipped to join Tottenham Hotspur, a move that would strip away yet another attacking piece from Iraola’s armoury. Lose Gakpo after Salah, and the need for fresh firepower stops being a concern and becomes an emergency.

That is why this potential double raid on the European champions carries such weight. Barcola as the headline act, Mbaye as the smart, strategic addition alongside him – a blend of marquee ambition and squad-building pragmatism.

If Liverpool can prise both from PSG before the window shuts, it will not just patch holes. It will send a message about where this team intends to go next.
