Liverpool were dealt a blow in their pursuits of Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye.<\/p>\n
The Paris Saint-Germain pair are still high on the Anfield club\u2019s list of priority targets as they seek to strengthen their attacking ranks before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
A move for Barcola is expected to materialise in the final week of the summer window despite the European champions refusing to budge on their valuation.<\/p>\n
Les Parisiens value the France international in the region of \u00a3130 million, which the Reds are reluctant to meet despite plans to make him their marquee signing.<\/p>\n
But reports indicate that Andoni Iraola\u2019s side attempted to broker a joint deal for Barcola and Mbaye in hopes of sealing two of their preferred signings in one.<\/p>\n
According to L\u2019Equipe, PSG refused to engage in negotiations for a package transfer due to a significant gap between the clubs\u2019 respective valuations of Mbaye.<\/p>\n
While Liverpool remain determined to land Barcola, the outcome saw them move onto Brighton\u2019s Yankuba Minteh, who was the subject of successive bids last week.<\/p>\n
Minteh is currently sidelined until the end of October after picking up a calf injury during a pre-season friendly with Roma which required corrective surgery.<\/p>\n
The Seagulls are expected to hold out for a \u00a370M valuation on the Gambian, who has contributed 19 goal involvements in 73 outings since joining from Newcastle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Liverpool were dealt a blow in their pursuits of Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye.
