Liverpool fans would be ecstatic after Romano issues exciting transfer update
Liverpool’s attacking rebuild could become even more ambitious before the transfer window closes, with the Reds prepared to add two new wingers if Cody Gakpo leaves for Tottenham.
Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool’s leading target as negotiations continue with Paris Saint-Germain, but Anfield officials are also exploring other wide options.
The situation has become particularly interesting because Tottenham are discussing a possible move for Gakpo, which would leave Andoni Iraola needing even greater depth on the flanks.
Liverpool have already lost Mohamed Salah this summer, so another major attacking departure would almost certainly force them back into the market.
Romano reveals Liverpool could sign two wingers
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool could bring in two wingers, particularly if Gakpo completes a move to Tottenham.
Romano reports that negotiations with PSG for Barcola remain active, while Liverpool are prepared to consider another winger separately. PSG teenager Ibrahim Mbaye is on their shortlist, although his current valuation is viewed as too expensive.
The latest reporting from The Standard adds that Liverpool remain confident of eventually securing Barcola despite the clubs having been some distance apart over his price.
Mbaye is also being pursued as an independent deal rather than merely an alternative to his PSG teammate.
