Liverpool are intensifying their search for Mohamed Salah replacement and are in current conversations with Paris Saint-Germain as they chase down their top summer target, Bradley Barcola. Liverpool, meanwhile, are taking a far more measured approach, with reports suggesting they are prepared to offer in the region of €115 million (£98.3m).Despite the hefty distance between those two figures, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi confirmed that dialogue between Anfield and Parc des Princes is active.

Speaking to Canal+ following PSG’s 2-1 UEFA Super Cup victory over Aston Villa, Al-Khelaifi played his cards close to his chest.“We’re working quietly, we don’t talk about it too much. I can’t say today whether he’s going to leave or not.”When probed further on the massive gulf in valuations between the two sides, the PSG chief remained coy:“We’ll see… the discussion is in negotiation.”Barcola found himself stuck on the bench during PSG's Super Cup triumph against Villa at Salzburg’s Red Bull Arena.It was a quiet night for the winger, who looked somewhat muted amidst the post-match celebrations.

However, PSG's demands could soar even higher if Liverpool broaden their scope.According to Romano, PSG could demand "almost €200 million (£171m)" if the Reds attempt to pull off a sensational double raid for both Barcola and Mbaye.“Liverpool’s plan is to sign two wingers by the end of the window, especially if Cody Gakpo goes to Tottenham,” Romano explained.It is far from guaranteed that Liverpool will push through a deal for both Paris starlets. Barcola remains the undisputed priority at Anfield, with the Reds keeping their options open and assessing several alternative targets as deadline day approaches.Whether Liverpool match PSG's steep price tag or hold out for a compromise, this looks set to be one of the defining transfer sagas of the window.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
