PSG make new decision on both Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye hours after Liverpool boost Liverpool have been linked with PSG duo Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye this summer as they look to strengthen their forward line under Andoni Iraola Paris Saint-Germain have included Liverpool-linked Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye in their squad for Sunday night's French Super Cup final against Lens. The news comes after PSG signed winger Mika Godts from Ajax on Saturday - handing the Reds a boost in their hopes of signing forwards Barcola and Mbaye. Andoni Iraola's team are reportedly preparing a big-money bid for the former after Luis Enrique welcomed Godts and Spanish World Cup winner Ferran Torres to their squad this summer. France international Barcola has attracted significant interest at Anfield as Liverpool look to turbo-boost their attack. However, the £130million-valuation is understood to be an issue. Mbaye, meanwhile, will be a much cheaper option for the Reds. Recent reports have claimed that Liverpool may look to submit a £42m bid for the 18-year-old. But a potential switch to Merseyside for both players appears to be some way off. European and French champions PSG have confirmed that Barcola and Mbaye are set to feature against last season's Ligue 1 runners-up, Lens, on Sunday. Nevertheless, Enrique's team is now overloaded with wingers. Torres and Godts have joined French forward Maghnes Akliouche as attacking additions to the Spaniard's squad this summer. And with so many wingers to choose from - it suggests that Barcola and Mbaye are heading towards the exit door. Whether they are willing to lower their valuation for the former, however, remains to be seen. Barcola scored 13 goals and provided seven assists across all competitions last term as PSG won Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Teenager Mbaye, meanwhile, scored three goals and registered two assists in 29 appearances for the Parisian giants. Both players would provide a much-needed attacking boost for Iraola after the Reds waved goodbye to Mohamed Salah this summer. There will be more to follow.
