Talk of Bradley Barcola may be providing the dopamine hits for the speculation addicts, but right now that feels like sprinkling glitter on top of a bin fire. ⬇️ www.thisisanfield.com/2026/08/live...
Liverpool are hanging Iraola out to dry with transfer inaction

Details of Yan Diomande transfer to Real Madrid 💰 €125m base fee 💰 €10m in realistic add-ons 💰 €5m in difficult add-ons Deals like this have emboldened PSG.
@ed_aarons: Arsenal could face competition from Liverpool for Ezri Konsa.
All negotiating parties remain confident a solution will be found for Bradley Barcola to join Liverpool despite PSG wanting €150m + including bonuses and Liverpool signalling they are not prepared to go above €120m. [@Tanziloic]
Interest in Ibrahim Mbaye is separate to Liverpool’s long-running pursuit of Bradley Barcola, although PSG’s £145m valuation of Barcola is proving problematic. As a result, Liverpool are considering a number of options with Mbaye, 18, among those being studied. [@_pauljoyce]
PSG want more than €150m for Bradley Barcola which Liverpool are not prepared to pay, so a compromise will have to reached for a transfer to materialise. [@FabriceHawkins]
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool are pushing to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye. The 18-year-old is understood to be keen on the move to Anfield, with Liverpool looking to strengthen their right-wing options this summer. @RMCsport
PSG want 120-130m is my guess. Not worth that fee IMO. We're probably desperate enough to pay it.
MacAllister - legs look shot Szoboszlai - Hugley talented player, but I'm not convinced in a double pivot Gravenberch - Fallen off a cliff. Huge question marks about his suitability in a Iraola team Endo - a journeyman Jones - probably off Nyoni - Terrific young player. Only 19.
Liverpool have 16 non homegrown players. The max is 17. So signing Barcola means Liverpool can’t sign any more non home grown players. LFC need outgoings before buying again Is this true?
Barcola would be a great coup, but Liverpool's depth is a shambles. Quality and reliable depth. This Hughes fella needs to get a move on.
Newcastle have now rejected a formal offer for Bruno from Arsenal Lee Ryder
Chiesa cannot be a live option when Isak is injured, rested, or out of the team for whatever reason. Absolutely absymal. Get a fee and move him on.
#LFC lose 4-2 to Leeds here in Chicago. First half the best of pre-season, second the worst. Shows two things. A) what the best XI is for first PL game in three weeks. B) despite positive tour overall, new signings — in multiple positions — are a non negotiable. Lewis Steele
Nothing there in midfield in the second half. Both hopeless. Two kids at centre back. Signings needed.
Two kids at CB, one who can’t even play next season. Where the fuck is our recruitment team? Been living it up round Chicago. I know players are due back, but the squad is paper thin and it’s a fucking joke to leave us so short. Fuck Barcola, get a CB, RB and CM now, then add luxuries.
Wirtz is a wonderful player. That is undeniable. He needs to protect the ball more when challenged. Use his body. He'd go up even more levels.
Be very interested to see what Andoni can do with Gravenberch's passing. He'll be encouraged to be more vertical and ambitious. We'll see if he's up to the challenge.
