The transfer window is open until 1 September, with Liverpool closing in on the signing of France international Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal that could eventually be worth £123m.
Barcola is expected on Merseyside this weekend to complete his medical after Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain agreed a fee of £106m, which could rise by a further £17m through add-ons.
The 23-year-old is set to sign a contract with Liverpool until 2031, with the Anfield club having finalised the structure of the transfer over the past 24 hours. Documents still need to be exchanged between the two clubs, while arrangements are being made for Barcola’s journey to Merseyside.
The move would represent another major deal for Paris Saint-Germain, who could receive up to £170m from the sales of Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye.
Mbaye is expected to undergo his medical later today before completing his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Aston Villa over the weekend. The contract for the 18-year-old is being finalised, with the agreement worth £47m.
Liverpool are also continuing to look at another winger, although Crystal Palace are seeking a substantial fee for Ismaila Sarr following initial discussions last week.
Alternative targets are being considered, but Sarr, 28, is interested in moving to Liverpool. Crystal Palace have also made enquiries about Torino winger Alieu Njie, while the club are in the process of selling Daniel Munoz to Nottingham Forest.
Elsewhere, Tottenham have rejected a loan proposal from Sunderland for Kevin Danso. Sunderland had explored the possibility of taking the defender for the season, but Tottenham turned down the offer.
Tottenham paid £21m for Danso last year.
The developments come during what is expected to be a busy final period of the transfer window, with clubs continuing to strengthen their squads before the new season. The latest activity has been reported by Simon Jones and the Daily Mail Sport team.
