Liverpool open talks for surprise second winger after Bradley Barcola in outrageous double deal

Liverpool have opened talks for a second winger signing as they look to add to Andoni Iraola's squad.

The Reds have brought in Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet so far this summer but are looking to strengthen further, particularly in attacking areas.

Liverpool are pushing hard to sign Paris Saint-Germain and France star Bradley Barcola, who is valued at a whopping £100 million.

But fresh reports from Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport say that they also want to sign his teammate Ibrahim Mbaye in a massive double deal.

It's said that the 18-year-old, who plays off the right flank, is keen on joining Liverpool and has given the green light to the transfer.

The two clubs are now set to enter official negotiations regarding the deal and the hope for Liverpool is that they can sign both Barcola and Mbaye from the European champions.

Mbaye made his official debut for PSG in August 2024 and later became the youngest player to win the UEFA Super Cup aged 17 years, 6 months and 19 days.

After representing France at youth level, Mbaye switched international allegiance to Senegal and was part of their squad for the World Cup - where he became the youngest African goalscorer in the competition's history.

Liverpool are desperate for reinforcement in wide areas, particularly after Mo Salah's departure on a free transfer. The Egyptian is widely expected to sign for Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor.

They do have high hopes for 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha, who is set to receive more game-time after showing plenty of promise last term and even starring for England in a friendly win over New Zealand.

Discussions for Barcola are believed to be ongoing but the two clubs are yet to come to an agreement on the final fee.

Mbaye, meanwhile, is said to be valued at around £35 million by PSG.

Liverpool linked with move for third Paris Saint-Germain star as transfer plans accelerate

Liverpool could have quite the raid on PSG, with reports also linking them to defender Illia Zabarnyi.

A report from Dave Ockop claims that Liverpool have held talks with the Ukrainian's camp and his representatives are hopeful that a deal could be done.

Zabarnyi only joined the French giants a year ago, signing in a £57 million deal from Bournemouth.

The 23-year-old made 37 appearances last season as Luis Enrique's men won the double but could return to the Premier League earlier than expected.

At Liverpool, Zabarnyi would reunite with Iraola after the two enjoyed one-and-a-half seasons together at Bournemouth after the 23-year-old signed from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023 a few months prior to the Spaniard's arrival.
