Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye have been left out of Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the Trophee des Champions match against Lens. Both players have been linked with a move to Anfield this summer.
Barcola a priority target
It is understood that PSG attacker Barcola has emerged as a priority signing, with talks having taken place over a deal. Barcola is keen on the switch, but Liverpool would need PSG to budge from their valuation of at least £130m for the player.
Akliouche starts
Maghnes Akliouche, a PSG addition from Monaco this summer, starts the match after his transfer appeared to further open up the possibility of Barcola's exit in the coming weeks.
