Liverpool eyes PSG wingers Barcola and Mbaye while Barcelona pursues Ferran Torres move
Liverpool FC are reported to be negotiating for two Paris Saint‑Germain attackers. The club has opened talks to sign 23‑year‑old French winger Bradley Barcola, whose contract with PSG runs until June 2028. PSG are said to value Barcola at around €170 million and would seek a substantial fee for his departure. At the same time, Liverpool have identified 18‑year‑old Senegal international Ibrahim Mbaye as a target. Mbaye, also under contract with PSG until 2028, is attracting interest from other European clubs, notably Bayer Leverkusen, but Liverpool are reported to be the frontrunner.
In parallel, FC Barcelona are preparing for a possible offer from PSG for Spanish forward Ferran Torres. Torres, whose contract expires in 2027, is valued by the Catalan club at €40‑45 million. Barcelona have indicated they will only consider a sale if a significant offer materialises, while the player has hinted at a desire to leave. The transfer saga involves the three clubs across England, France and Spain.
