Liverpool targets Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye after PSG squad omissions

Liverpool is exploring the transfers of forwards Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, both excluded from Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the Trophée des Champions against Lens on August 17, 2026. The absence raises speculation that Liverpool may pursue the players as they seek to enhance their attacking options. PSG is reportedly valuing the pair at around €200 million, creating challenges for negotiations. With PSG recently adding attackers Mika Godts and Ferran Torres, the dynamics surrounding Barcola and Mbaye's futures may be shifting. Liverpool will assess whether a feasible deal can be negotiated before the transfer window closes.
