**Liverpool’s pursuit of Bradley Barcola from PSG very much hangs in the balance.**
What we know so far is that the Reds want the player, he wants the move, but the two sides are no closer to agreeing a fee.
It has also been confirmed that Barcola won’t force a transfer out of respect he has for the club, which is a sign that he will more than happily remain at PSG if his transfer doesn’t materialise.
And now, reports from England claim Liverpool are ready to walk away from the deal and could instead focus on Ibrahim Mbaye.
This is a bit of a strange one as Liverpool are also in talks with PSG for Mbaye.
And now, [Standard Sport](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-fc-transfer-news-barcola-arsenal-b1293052.html) claim that the Reds are ‘ready to abandon’ their pursuit of the Frenchman for the 18-year-old, which could emerge as good news for Arsenal in their chase for Barcola.
Liverpool have been in negotiations with PSG for a while now and have also agreed personal terms with Barcola, who has made it clear that he won’t renew his deal in the French capital.
However, unless the Parisians lower their asking price, the move won’t happen as Liverpool are prepared to walk away if they don’t reach a middle ground.
