Jarrod Bowen has emerged as a potential target, while Bradley Barcola and Denzel Dumfries are also reportedly on their radar.West Ham United may be forced into a summer rebuild depending on their final-day survival fight, with Bowen expected to attract interest if they are relegated.Liverpool are also preparing for possible departures of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, who could both feature in their final game for the club on Sunday.Liverpool’s interest in Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola has been described as “genuine,” with the winger becoming more of a rotational option at PSG in recent weeks.Barcola is primarily used on the left side, but has fallen behind Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the pecking order for key matches.His contract runs until 2028, although all renewal discussions are currently on hold with the UEFA Champions League final approaching. Paris Saint-Germain are said to be open to a summer departure for the winger.According to L’Équipe, Liverpool are aware that Bradley Barcola is most comfortable on the left wing and are keen to protect the development pathway of 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha into the first team.As a result, the Reds are cooling their interest in Barcola, with concerns that his arrival could restrict Ngumoha’s opportunities at senior level, repeating a similar approach taken last summer when Luis Diaz was not replaced.Ngumoha has had his minutes carefully managed this season, with Liverpool feeling the effects of limited depth in wide areas.

Arsenal are also monitoring Barcola, with the Premier League viewed as his most likely next destination.Barcola has made 48 appearances this season, scoring 13 goals and registering seven assists across all competitions for PSG.L’Équipe adds that the situation is still under consideration, with PSG also exploring the market for a right-sided attacker.
