Liverpool's summer transfer activity has been quiet, with only Victor Munoz from Osasuna joining so far. The ongoing World Cup is hampering swift business, but manager Andoni Iraola is expected to assess his squad before further arrivals.
World Cup Star Update: Barcola Urged to Stay at PSG
Bradley Barcola, currently shining for France at the World Cup, has been advised to turn down a move to Liverpool by former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly. The ex-French international urged the 23-year-old winger to continue his development at Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool have shifted focus to Barcola after RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande reportedly prefers PSG. European champions PSG value Barcola at over £100 million and have no intention of selling, with Arsenal also monitoring. "Barcola doesn't need to leave PSG," Desailly said. "He's too young. Didier Deschamps is teaching him a lesson. Barcola is too light on defensive discipline. When you look at his matches, he doesn't make the effort to defend. Should he move to the Premier League? Not yet. He should stay at PSG, play 25 games a season, and grow within that system."
Mo Salah Update: Serie A Giants Eye Return
Italian clubs Roma and Juventus have explored signing Mohamed Salah, who left Liverpool this summer. The 34-year-old remains linked with Saudi Arabia, where interest persists. According to The Mail, Roma—Salah's former club before Liverpool—and Juventus are keen but face financial hurdles due to his high wage demands. The United States and Turkish clubs have also expressed interest.
Speaking before the World Cup, Salah said: "I am still assessing things. I have time now. I am going to the World Cup and then everything will become clear."
