Liverpool have received a major update in their transfer chase to sign's PSG and France star Bradley BarcolaAndoni Iraola's first summer transfer window at Liverpool has been a mixed bag thus far but looks like it's set to heat up significantly. Victor Munoz's £34million arrival from Osasuna has helped replenish the ranks, though more business is widely expected at Anfield.There's less welcome news on the transfer front after one of this summer's fresh signings has been told he can't play this season.



It emerged on Sunday the 23-year-old has told his current employers he has no intention of signing a new contract at the Parc des Princes.That seemingly applies beyond this summer after he rejected PSG's latest offering of fresh contract talks. Further to that, it's not even clear if he has his heart set on leaving this summer, just that he's not interested in extending his current terms.It's also alleged Barcola has already turned down an approach from Chelsea earlier this summer.

However, it suggests the former Lyon youngster is a man of principles as he seemingly won't pull any old trick to get a move.Ndukwe can't play for LiverpoolAfter being rocked by Joe Gomez's latest injury setback in pre-season, Liverpool's defence has suffered another hit. That's after reports confirmed summer arrival Ifeanyi Ndukwe won't be able to play for Iraola this term.The 18-year-old's £2.6m move from Austria Wien was confirmed in January but didn't officially go through until July.
