Liverpool’s attack looks likely to be the centre of focus during the last two-and-a-half weeks of the transfer window, with moves for Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye in the offing.The Reds are currently waiting for Paris Saint-Germain to drop their price on the pair, but even if that never happens, it seems very possible that two different wingers could arrive.Journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed as much on Friday, and has revealed what Liverpool plan to do with Rio Ngumoha in the process. Does Rio Ngumoha or Ibrahim Mbaye have the higher potential?

No chance Ngumoha leaves Liverpool this summerAs things stand, Ngumoha has a decent chance of starting regularly for Liverpool this season. Given the current options, he would be in plenty of supporters’ best XI’s either on the left or the right wing.And according to Romano, Liverpool are equally as expectant over the former Chelsea prospect, and whoever comes in over the coming weeks, it will not affect their plan to platform Ngumoha further in 2026/27.READ MORE: Liverpool fans tell Richard Hughes what to do after PSG quote £170m for Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye“On Rio Ngumoha, just to clarify, that should anything happen, Barcola or not Barcola, two wingers – because as I told you Liverpool want to add two wingers to the squad, especially if Gakpo goes to Tottenham – in any case, Rio Ngumoha is untouchable,” the journalist said on YouTube.“He was never close to joining Bayern this summer, and Rio for Liverpool is an absolutely crucial part of the present and future project.

So, forget about [him] leaving.”Liverpool need to be careful not to block NgumohaThough this is obviously the right decision from Liverpool – and they also need reinforcements out wide and cannot ignore that – they also need to be slightly careful how they manage Ngumoha this summer.Last year, the official line was that the Reds had declined the chance to sign Barcola in order to keep the youngster’s pathway clear. But Liverpool do need to be careful here.
