Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsLiverpool FCLiverpool continues to be in the market for a potential forward addition, with Bradley Barcola emerging as a key target, while PSG is eyeing several options up front.PSG is pushing to sign a Liverpool-linked forward in the transfer window(Image: (Photo by Simon M Bruty/Getty Images))Liverpool and PSG appear to have a fate that is intertwined over the course of the summer transfer window with both clubs crossing over their activity in the market.It all started when the Reds showed interest in Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, before the winger set PSG as his preferred destination - and then changed it again to Real Madrid, ruling the European champions out of contention for his signature.That saw Liverpool move onto other options in the market, with Maghnes Akliouche among those the Merseyside outfit had followed as a potential addition from AS Monaco.While the interest in the Frenchman was there, PSG has swooped in and looks set to seal a deal, one that could actually help the Premier League outfit, rather than hinder them.That's because Liverpool has opened talks with PSG to sign Bradley Barcola, with discussions ongoing over a transfer that could prove to be expensive.The French winger has become a top target for the Reds, meaning the loss of Akliouche isn't quite as dramatic, but continued the ongoing theme of the two teams crossing paths in the transfer window.While talks continue over Barcola, there is yet another Liverpool-linked star on the radar for PSG, as Ferran Torres has been linked with the club.The 26-year-old, who scored the winning goal for Spain in the World Cup final this summer, is into the final year of his contract at Barcelona, which could accelerate a potential exit.TOPSHOT - Spain's forward #07 Ferran Torres celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the 2026 World Cup football tournament final match between Spain and Argentina at the New York/New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford on July 19, 2026. (Photo by FRANCK FIFE / AFP via Getty Images)(Image: Getty)While Liverpool has been linked, it seems as though PSG will be the frontrunners for Torres this summer, as Santi Aouna reports that the player has outlined his desire to join Les Parisiens.Discussions are being set up for Barcelona and PSG to settle the future of the versatile forward, which could accelerate the decision over his next steps.Content cannot be displayed without consentIt could mean that the Reds miss out on another player who has been loosely linked to both them and the French side, though it could only further solidify the club's position on Barcola.After Akliouche's move, and PSG's interest in Ajax's Mika Godts, the addition of Torres would certainly bolster PSG's depth beyond the expected limits.As a result, Barcola may be even closer to Anfield.
The two teams continue to have their fate intertwined in the market, with Liverpool eager to get the ideal winger through the door.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCBradley BarcolaParis Saint-Germain FC
