Liverpool Premier League • England Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool in talks to sign €220m duo – and BOTH want to join Liverpool target and PSG winger Bradley Barcola Fabrizio Romano has brought an update on Liverpool’s quest to bring Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye to Anfield in the summer transfer window. Liverpool are keen on adding wingers to their squad, with Barcola and Mbaye emerging as two of the leading targets for Andoni Iraola’s side. On August 6, TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported that Liverpool are in talks with Mbaye’s representatives. The 18-year-old Senegal international winger has told PSG that he wants to leave in the summer transfer window. Sources have told us that PSG want €50million (£43m, $58m) for Mbaye. Bailey also reported that Mbaye is keen on a move to Liverpool this summer. We have also long reported Liverpool’s desire to sign Barcola from PSG. Our transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported on July 28 that PSG want €170million (£146m, $194m) for Barcola, who, like Mbaye, has already told last season’s Ligue 1 and Champions League winners that he wants to leave this summer.
