• Player negotiations: Bradley Barcola and Ibrahima Mbaye have agreed personal terms with Liverpool, but PSG’s high valuations remain the main obstacle.
• Transfer fees: PSG initially sought £145m for Barcola and £50m for Mbaye, but recent signings like Mika Godts may allow deals closer to £125m and £30m respectively.
• Squad planning: Liverpool could accommodate both players while potentially allowing Cody Gakpo to move to Tottenham, provided adequate replacements are signed.

Bradley Barcola and Ibrahima Mbaye are both awaiting PSG’s response amid ongoing negotiations with Liverpool, with personal terms already outlined in principle at Anfield.

Agents Moussa Sissoko for Barcola and Jorge Mendes (now involved in Mbaye’s case) have laid the groundwork for agreements, but PSG’s price tags remain the sticking point.

The French champions initially demanded close to £200m combined, yet the arrival of Ajax winger Mika Godts has eased their stance. Barcola, once valued at £145m, could now move for nearer £125m, while Mbaye’s fee may drop from £50m to around £30m.

With Godts signed and further reinforcements in Maghnes Akliouche and Ferran Torres already secured, Liverpool continues to press PSG for a breakthrough on both deals.

Liverpool's Doors Open for PSG Duo as Gakpo Exit Looms

Sources close to the intermediaries have confirmed Liverpool remain open to signing both Bradley Barcola and Ibrahima Mbaye — crucially, the Reds have not asked either camp to choose between deals.

That flexibility could allow Anfield to accommodate both arrivals, especially with Cody Gakpo’s potential move to Tottenham on the table. The Dutch forward will only be allowed to leave if Liverpool secure adequate cover, with a replacement for Mohamed Salah already needed.

Head coach Andoni Iraola is said to be comfortable with Gakpo’s departure, provided reinforcements arrive. Meanwhile, PSG’s decision to leave Barcola and Mbaye out of their Trophée des Champions clash with Lens suggests Luis Enrique accepts their futures may lie away from Paris.

The key question now: will PSG lower their valuations enough to make Liverpool’s double swoop a reality?
