**Liverpool could still make a few changes to their squad as the summer transfer window draws to a dramatic conclusion.**
Talks are ongoing to sign both Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG and it remains to be seen if they get both deals over the line.
Neither of them has featured for PSG in their last two games due to all the ongoing speculation.
And now, [RMC Sport](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/psg-en-attendant-une-nouvelle-offre-de-liverpool-barcola-restera-a-l-ecart_AV-202608170557.html) confirm that the Parisians are resting Barcola as they don’t want a potential injury to scupper his transfer, in case they agree a deal.
An excerpt from the article reads: “Bradley Barcola is not expected to rejoin the Paris Saint-Germain squad until his future is resolved.
“Liverpool are still negotiating his transfer during the summer transfer window and are expected to make a new offer soon.
“This exclusion could continue. Left out of the squad for PSG’s 1-0 defeat to Lens in the Trophée des Champions, Bradley Barcola is not expected to return against Rennes in the first Ligue 1 match, as reported by L’Équipe.
“A potential departure during the transfer window, the 23-year-old winger could therefore be rested for the upcoming matches while his future is being decided.”
“Rather than a sanction against the French international with 28 caps, it’s a desire to avoid taking any risks before a potential summer transfer. The decision was made by the Parisian club and is understood by Bradley Barcola**,** according to information confirmed to RMC Sport.”
The report also states that Liverpool’s bid for Barcola is imminent, so the stars finally seem to be aligning for the Reds as they aim to get this deal over the line.
