Liverpool finally seemed to move forward in the transfer market on Sunday after news arrived that Bradley Barcola will not sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain and is keen to join the Reds instead.Though it has been stressed that a move to Anfield is not imminent for Barcola, this one looks to be moving in the right direction, and will mean that Liverpool have brought in two fast, direct wide players this summer.But while fans should be excited to see Barcola and Victor Munoz in action, the Reds are also reportedly still pushing to sign Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche.

“Despite Liverpool’s interest, Maghnes Akliouche wants to join PSG,” Aouna posted to X. Discussions continue between the two clubs.”Although they look likely to miss out on this one, Liverpool’s push for Akliouche – while simultaneously trying to sign Barcola – is a clear hint that the Reds think they still need more in their front line.Photo by Marcel Bonte/Soccrates/Getty ImagesREAD MORE: Five exciting players Liverpool could sign at right-back as mystery transfer confirmed as ‘likely’Who could Liverpool sign for the right wing?The interesting thing about Liverpool’s interest in both Barcola and Akliouche is that they are completely different players.Barcola is mainly a left-sided winger, and with the Reds most needing a right-sided player to replace Mohamed Salah, it will be fascinating to see how they plan to use him.Akliouche, meanwhile, is very much a right-sider.

Porto’s William Gomes looks like a talent, meanwhile, and he could be one to watch, but it remains to be seen whether Liverpool feel they need someone a little more experienced.There are top left-footed wingers around, but the likes of Michael Olise, Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele are clearly out of reach for now.As a result, it may be that Liverpool pile up the right-footers and wait for the right player to become available in the next year or two. But it is clear that regardless of what does eventually end up happening, the Reds are at the very least on the lookout for someone else to join Barcola and Munoz in Andoni Iraola’s squad next season.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
