Liverpool have held talks to sign another Paris Saint-Germain star alongside Bradley Barcola in the summer transfer window.
It's no secret that Liverpool are in the market to sign a new winger in the summer transfer window after Mohammed Salah left the club a few months ago.
PSG winger Barcola appears to be a priority target for the Reds, with Fabrizio Romano confirming they are working on a deal to secure his signature.
The Reds could also look to reinforce other areas in the coming weeks as they prepare to head back in the right direction next season.
It was a disappointing 25-26 campaign for Liverpool, despite managing to just about qualify for the Champions League.

Liverpool in PSG double deal talks

According to a report from Dave Ockop, Liverpool have held talks with the representatives of Paris Saint-Germain defender Illia Zabarnyi in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool have been made aware that there could be an opportunity to explore a deal for the defender.
His camp is presenting him as an option, and talks have been ongoing over the last few days after he was frozen out towards the end of last season by Luis Enrique.
It is claimed that PSG will be looking to at least get their money back for Zabarnyi if they do lose him this summer.
He made the move from Bournemouth for a fee of around £57 million, so it could be an expensive deal for Liverpool to get over the line.
Centre-back signing could be necessary

Signing a new centre-back during the summer transfer window could be crucial for Liverpool.
The Reds already lost Ibrahima Konate after his contract expired, leaving them short of options in defence.
Jeremy Jacquet did arrive, but he has been recovering from a long-term injury. It's unclear whether he can instantly adapt to Premier League football.
Joe Gomez is another option in the center-back position for Liverpool, but he recently suffered an injury that would keep him out of their opening Premier League game.
Gomez isn't out for a long period and isn't a starter in the Liverpool side, but he's still a backup option who does tend to suffer from regular injury troubles.
