    Liverpool FC’s Barcola Deal Just Took Another BIG Step Forward

    Tottenham’s interest in Cody Gakpo is beginning to look increasingly serious, with Spurs reportedly making their interest known to Liverpool as they reshape their attack.

    Gakpo OUT?! Liverpool's Transfer Dominoes Explained

    Liverpool's transfer negotiations with PSG are heating up — but the Reds aren't prepared to pay whatever price they're quoted. On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave dives into fresh reports surrounding Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, with Fabrizio Romano revealing Liverpool have held talks with Jorge Mendes over Mbaye. The problem? Liverpool currently consider the proposed deal too expensive. Could PSG be demanding a Premier League premium now Liverpool have entered the race? Dave examines the numbers, the potential €200m combined package for Barcola and Mbaye, and why Liverpool may simply be waiting for PSG to complete their own incoming business before pushing harder in negotiations. Then there's Cody Gakpo. Tottenham continue to work on the Dutchman alongside Savinho, raising the possibility of a major transfer domino: could Gakpo's departure ultimately lead to Liverpool adding two new wingers before the deadline? Attention also turns to Curtis Jones, with Inter expected to renew their pursuit once Davide Frattesi's move to Lazio is completed. Jones is reportedly open to the switch, but the bigger question is what Liverpool do next. Would they actually replace him — or hand his midfield minutes to Trey Nyoni? Dave also assesses the lack of convincing midfield links, the futures of Alexis Mac Allister, Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo, and why Liverpool may need more than one departure before sanctioning another midfield arrival. There's also the latest on the potential new investment into Liverpool and what the arrival of enormous financial power could actually mean — with the focus potentially falling on commercial opportunities and broadcasting rather than simply pumping money into transfers. Plus, positive news from training as Jeremy Jacquet, Alexis Mac Allister and Ronald Araujo return to full involvement. The transfer merry-go-round is accelerating. Gakpo, Barcola, Mbaye and Jones could now hold the keys to Liverpool's final weeks of the window. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Barcola EXIT: Is Liverpool FC the Destination?

    Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola is gathering serious momentum — and the latest developments from Paris have only added fuel to the fire. On today's Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave breaks down a fascinating night surrounding Liverpool's top attacking target after Barcola was handed zero minutes in PSG's Super Cup clash, with fellow Reds target Ibrahim Mbaye also remaining unused. Their post-match reactions and involvement in the celebrations have inevitably sparked further speculation over their futures. More importantly, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has refused to rule out Barcola leaving, while Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool and PSG are talking and that a deal remains possible. Dave assesses what the latest comments really mean, why Barcola no longer appears untouchable and whether PSG's incoming attacking business could finally trigger the transfer dominoes Liverpool have been waiting for. Could Liverpool even attempt an extraordinary move for both Barcola and Mbaye, and just how significant could the numbers become if the Reds raid Paris for two of their brightest attacking talents? There's also a major boost from the training ground, with Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet and Alexis Mac Allister back involved, as Liverpool prepare for their final meaningful pre-season test against Como. Dave looks at whether Jacquet could possibly be ready for the competitive opener against Newcastle and assesses the players still working their way back to fitness. With the new season almost here and Liverpool's transfer talks accelerating, are the pieces finally falling into place for another blockbuster move? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Liverpool FC Need Steel, So Why Haven’t They Signed It?

    Trev Downey and Dave Davis close out their Liverpool midfield deep dive by asking the biggest question of all, will Liverpool actually do anything about the problem before the window closes? They discuss Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai’s defensive limitations, the chances of Adam Wharton or Lamine Camara arriving, and whether a sale of Alexis Mac Allister may be required to trigger serious recruitment. There is also a major focus on Andoni Iraola, whether Liverpool have given him the mi

    Trey Nyoni Could Replace Curtis Jones, But There’s a Bigger Problem

    Trev Downey and Dave Davis examine the increasingly concerning picture surrounding Liverpool’s midfield, particularly with Curtis Jones potentially heading to Inter Milan and suggestions that his departure may not trigger a replacement. They discuss whether Trey Nyoni could inherit Jones’ midfield minutes, why that could be an exciting opportunity for the youngster, and why it still fails to solve the bigger issue. With Florian Wirtz expected to operate as the number ten, Liverpool appear ready

    Liverpool FC Need to Fix This Before the Transfer Window Closes

    Trev Downey and Dave Davis take a hard look at Liverpool’s midfield problem, questioning whether Andoni Iraola has the balance required to compete at the highest level. With Florian Wirtz expected to operate as the number ten, concerns centre on Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, particularly after Liverpool conceded 53 Premier League goals last season. Can Liverpool really enter the new campaign without adding a defensively minded midfielder, or is the current setup s

    Only Mo Salah: Melissa Reddy on Salah’s Final Liverpool FC Season

    Melissa Reddy joins Lola Katz Roberts to discuss her new book, Only Mo Salah, and provides fascinating insight into Mohamed Salah’s final chapter at Liverpool. Reddy explains why Salah’s problems were less about Liverpool’s high profile attacking signings and more about how his role changed after signing a new contract, his deteriorating relationship with Arne Slot and the feeling that the club hierarchy was already preparing for life without him.

    LIVERPOOL FC’S MIDFIELD HAS A BIG PROBLEM

    Dave Davis and Dr Phil Barter take a detailed look at Ibrahim Mbaye, explaining why the PSG youngster’s combination of explosive carrying, progressive play and unusually strong defensive work could make him an ideal Andoni Iraola winger. They then turn to Liverpool’s potential midfield trio of Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz, where the attacking quality is obvious, but the numbers raise serious concerns around tackling, recoveries, interceptions and defensive balance.

    Jones Wants OUT?! Liverpool FC Can't Ignore Their Midfield Problem

    Liverpool's transfer window is approaching crunch time — and Dave Davis believes the Reds simply cannot leave the squad as it currently stands. On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, the focus begins with Curtis Jones, as Inter continue to make the Liverpool midfielder a priority target. With Jones reportedly keen on the move and Inter potentially ready to return once Davide Frattesi departs, could an exit finally be approaching after a difficult pre-season? Dave looks at why a departure may now suit all parties, whether Trey Nyoni has pushed himself ahead of Jones, and why selling the midfielder without signing a replacement would represent a major gamble. That leads into Liverpool's biggest remaining squad concern: midfield reinforcements. Dave argues the Reds still lack two important profiles — a progressive passer and a genuine defensive No.6 — and insists Iraola needs more tools if Liverpool are serious about competing at the highest level. There's also an intriguing opportunity at right-back. With Djed Spence attracting interest from Inter, could Liverpool hijack the deal if the price is right? Dave also discusses links to Guéla Doué, whose ability to operate across the defence could make him an interesting option. Elsewhere, there's discussion around Myles Lewis-Skelly, the uncertainty surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Real Madrid, Tottenham's transfer plans and what they could mean for Cody Gakpo, plus the continuing wait for movement around Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye. The message is clear: Liverpool still have work to do — and time is running out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
