Liverpool hold positive Barcola talks with optimism over deal with PSG

Liverpool are holding further talks with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday for Bradley Barcola. There has been a gap in valuation between the two clubs throughout the summer, with PSG asking for around £145m for the France international. However, those discussions have been described as positive and there is optimism that a deal can be struck.

Sky Sports News understands there are good relations between the two clubs at the highest level. It is hoped this will help Liverpool and PSG reach an agreement. Liverpool have also explored a move for Barcola's team-mate, Ibrahim Mbaye, who plays off the right wing.

The Premier League club's priority throughout this window has been to reinforce in wide areas.
