LIVERPOOL FC READY TO EXPLODE?! Barcola, Mbaye & Gakpo Deals Enter Crunch Time

The clock is ticking, the reports are conflicting and Liverpool's transfer window could be about to burst into life.

On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave breaks down a potentially frantic final 12 days of the window as Liverpool continue negotiations over their attacking targets.

Bradley Barcola remains the priority, with French reporting suggesting PSG have established their minimum valuation and that the expectation around the deal remains positive. But how long will Liverpool continue negotiating before making their decisive move?

Then there's Ibrahim Mbaye, where the story becomes considerably murkier. French reports claim personal terms have been agreed, while UK-based reporting continues to play down the extent of Liverpool's interest. Fabrizio Romano places Mbaye among the options if Cody Gakpo leaves — but also suggests Liverpool have other names on their winger shortlist.

Meanwhile, Gakpo to Tottenham remains alive despite Spurs pursuing other attacking additions, while Liverpool are being tipped to become one of Europe's busiest clubs over the closing stages of the window.

Add in Curtis Jones' expected move to Milan and Liverpool's emerging midfield plans, and the transfer dominoes could finally be ready to fall.

Barcola, Mbaye, Gakpo and a potential mystery winger — the next 12 days could change Liverpool's squad dramatically. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
