**Liverpool and PSG remain locked in talks over deals for both 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye and 23-year-old Bradley Barcola, with the expectation now being that both deals will be done before the summer transfer window closes.**
The Premier League transfer deadline is set for 1 September at 11 pm, so there is still a good amount of time left even if it’s distressing for fans to leave such major transfers for what feels like the last minute.
It’s understandable that, given the amount of money being discussed, Liverpool want to take their time to ensure they are not making any bad deals.
A new report from France, however, suggests that the desired progress is being made and that there is confidence that Liverpool will sign the two exciting wingers.

Trusted French outlet [RMC Sport](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/barcola-bouaddi-gouiri-fernandez-pardo-ces-10-dossiers-chauds-a-suivre-d-ici-la-fin-du-mercato-estival_AV-202608180291.html) has released a report today covering the top ten most likely transfers from Ligue 1 in the remaining days of the summer transfer window, with updates on Mbaye and Barcola likely to be of most interest to Liverpool fans.
### Ibrahim Mbaye
A deal to sign Mbaye is said to be proceeding quite quickly now, which is very pleasing to hear.
RMC Sport writes: _“This is a deal that’s progressing rapidly. As revealed by RMC Sport,_ _Ibrahim Mbaye has reached an agreement with Liverpool in recent hours on a five-year contract. The Reds will now accelerate negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain._
_“Their objective: to secure the transfer of the 18-year-old Senegalese international this summer. While previously linked with the move, Bayer Leverkusen is not expected to pursue the Parisian youth academy graduate.”_
### Bradley Barcola
RMC Sport writes: _“But Liverpool would also like to finalise another deal with PSG soon. The Reds are continuing discussions with the reigning European champions to secure the services of Bradley Barcola._
_“The striker was not included in the matchday squad for Sunday night’s Trophée des Champions game in Lens (0-1) . Despite a difference in price between the two clubs, the English club remains motivated to complete the transfer. A new offer is expected later this week.”_
It remains to be seen what the final number that Liverpool and PSG land on will be, but it will be expensive one way or another.
