Liverpool are under pressure to finalise deals before their Premier League opener against Newcastle on August 23. New manager Andoni Iraola has already overseen signings like Jeremy Jacquet, Victor Munoz, and Ifeanyi Ndukwe, while Mohamed Salah left on a free to Trabzonspor.
Araujo loan close
Ronald Araujo's loan from Barcelona appears imminent. Barcelona boss Hansi Flick confirmed the move, saying: "We couldn’t include him like I wanted and also I think he wants to make something new. I saw him this morning and I said goodbye and I think he was very happy and Liverpool is also a fantastic club."
Curtis Jones could exit
Curtis Jones may leave if Inter Milan meet Liverpool's asking price. With Jones in the final year of his contract, a £35m fee could be enough. The England international is homegrown but an exit could fund other moves.
PSG raid targeted
Bradley Barcola is a top target, with a fee around £110m possibly accepted by PSG. The winger scored 11 league goals last season and impressed at the World Cup. Arsenal remain linked.
Ibrahim Mbaye is also ready to leave PSG, with Liverpool among suitors. The 18-year-old made 30 appearances last term, and a fee over £40m reflects his potential.
Gakpo could fund moves
If Liverpool complete the £150m double swoop for the PSG pair, Cody Gakpo could be sold. Tottenham are interested, but the Reds want two new forwards first. Gakpo has 50 goals in 180 games since joining from PSV, and a bid around £70m might be considered.
