Is Liverpool FC Squad Depth Really Enough?
Liverpool's attacking transfer plans are becoming clearer — but could the Reds be preparing to take a major gamble in midfield?
On today's Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave brings the latest on Bradley Barcola, who is back in PSG training as Liverpool continue to wait for movement in Paris. With PSG working on further attacking additions, including reported moves involving Mika Godts and Ferran Torres, could those dominoes finally unlock Barcola's potential move to Anfield?
There's also Ibrahim Mbaye, who remains firmly under consideration. With Endrick now expected to remain at Real Madrid and other attacking alternatives disappearing, Dave asks whether Liverpool's plan could ultimately involve both PSG youngsters — Barcola on the left and Mbaye on the right.
But it's the midfield situation that generates the biggest debate.
Fresh reports suggest Alexis Mac Allister is unlikely to leave, despite links elsewhere, while Curtis Jones' future remains uncertain. More significantly, Liverpool may not necessarily replace Jones even if he departs, with Trey Nyoni potentially being trusted with those minutes.
Dave explains why he remains concerned by a potential Dominik Szoboszlai-Ryan Gravenberch double pivot and why Liverpool could still benefit from a genuine defensive No.6. With Manchester City and Arsenal strengthening around similar profiles, are Liverpool taking an unnecessary risk by standing still?
There's also discussion around Wataru Endo's future, Liverpool's defensive depth and why, despite an exciting attack, injuries and midfield balance could ultimately determine whether Iraola's squad can challenge for the biggest prizes.
