With just over a month to go until the start of the Premier League season, it seems the path might be opening up to another big name.Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the latest transfer gossip to emerge around the Reds.Bradley Barcola (PSG)Speculation continues on the future of Bradley Barcola, with Paris Saint-Germain seemingly opening up to the idea of letting the winger go this summer.David Ornstein has told The Atheltic FC podcast that PSG is “realistic” about Bradley Barcola’s situation, and although it would like to keep him, it recognizes that he has two years remaining on his contract and is not a regular starter, suggesting that the player would be open to a move.Barcola is said to be high in Liverpool’s thinking, having been identified as one of four alternative options to Yan Diomande.

Arsenal has also been linked, although the Gunners are also thought to be looking at Morgan Rogers, with the Aston Villa star reported to be their priority.Get Liverpool's new 2026/27 home kitThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Even if the European champions aren't putting him up for sale just yet, you'd bet good money they will listen to offers eventually.That should encourage Liverpool, although it would likely have to be prepared to break the bank again, and given there are other areas to work on in the squad, the Reds might not be in the strongest position to throw a lot of money at just one signing.Djed Spence (Tottenham)Liverpool could look to make a move for Djed Spence, according to Anfield Watch, who claim that the Reds have 'wanted' the England international since 2023.The report says Liverpool has kept a close eye on the defender since he joined Rennes on loan from Tottenham, and with suggestions that Spurs could look to move him on this summer, he may now become a target for a transfer.Djed Spence impressed in England's semi-final defeat to Argentina(Image: Getty Images)The Reds are said to have never made a bid for the 25-year-old, but have been "on the lookout for any market opportunities that may arise".Liverpool.com says: Well, that's come out of the blue, hasn't it? Although Spence had a decent World Cup and might have even been England's best player against Argentina, we're not too sure this is a deal Liverpool should be going for.In some ways, it does make some sense given he can play either flank as a fullback, and Liverpool could probably do with someone who could fill in at left-back or right-back.
