Multiple reports carry news of imminent bids for PSG duo Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola, which could cost as much as £164m combined. beIN Sports reporter Romain Collet-Gaudin reports that the arrival of Ajax star Mika Godts in Paris will “accelerate” Barcola’s move to Liverpool, with PSG agreeing a €55m (£47.4m) fee for his transfer. Liverpool devrait envoyer une première offre à Paris pour Ibrahim Mbaye dans les prochains jours #Mercato https://t.co/1rnUG6llov — Loïc Tanzi (@Tanziloic) August 14, 2026 Liverpool could solve their attacking headache in one go if the reports are true If the reports are true, and PSG accept the bids, Liverpool could finally put their attacking depth issues to bed.

Signing both Mbaye and Barcola would mean this would be their attacking roster for the 2026/27 season: Alexander Isak Hugo Ekitike (Boxing Day return from Achilles injury) Bradley Barcola Rio Ngumoha Victor Munoz Ibrahim Mbaye Federico Chiesa Cody Gakpo (likely to be sold, but until then…) I’m of the opinion that Liverpool shouldn’t sell Gakpo even if both Barcola and Mbaye join, but I understand that there are multiple reasons why he needs to be sold. He seems to be keen to leave, Liverpool needs to free up non-homegrown slots in the squad after the Ronald Araujo loan deal, and Liverpool need to generate cash to balance the summer spend. ?Bradley Barcola et Ibrahim Mbaye ne figurent pas sur la feuille de match pour le Trophée des champions contre Lens.
