BARCOLA & MBAYE WANT LIVERPOOL! Reds Ready for Huge Transfer Week
Liverpool have just two weeks remaining in the transfer window — and the pressure is building to get deals done.
On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave dives into the growing expectation surrounding Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, with Liverpool continuing to pursue both PSG attackers. Mbaye is reportedly attracted by the Liverpool project and talks have taken place with his representative Jorge Mendes, but PSG's valuation remains a major obstacle. Barcola's situation could also accelerate, leaving Liverpool facing potentially decisive negotiations with the French champions.
There's movement in the opposite direction too. Curtis Jones' proposed move to Inter is gathering momentum, with the midfielder keen on the switch and Inter expected to push again. Dave looks at why a move could now suit everyone involved and why Jones' desire for a bigger role should come as no surprise.
Meanwhile, Stefan Bajcetic is attracting interest from Getafe, while several youngsters could head out on loan as Liverpool attempt to reshape the squad before the September 1 deadline.
Dave also reflects on Liverpool's final pre-season action, including an outstanding first appearance from Jeremy Jacquet, another encouraging performance from Ronald Araujo and perhaps the biggest surprise of all — Jeremy Frimpong looking increasingly comfortable at right-back.
With Barcola and Mbaye potentially arriving, Jones heading towards Inter and decisions still required over Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Lewis Koumas, Liverpool have plenty to resolve.
Two weeks. Multiple transfers. Liverpool's window is finally approaching crunch time.
