Richard Hughes can complete deal for one of highest-rated wingers in the world One-v-one quality out wide would appear to be the priority for Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window opening. Last year we saw massive deals concluded for central attackers - including British record fees paid for both Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. Big money also went on Hugo Ekitike as Arne Slot and Richard Hughes completely revamped the strike and supply lines.
This summer is different however with the Premier League champions seeking to add pace and trickery in the wing areas. Mohamed Salah is leaving the club having reached an agreement to rip up his £400k per week contract. And Federico Chiesa is very likely to join him having failed to win over Slot.
Cody Gakpo meanwhile has had an underwhelming season and the head coach is reluctant to use Rio Ngumoha as a starter on a consistent basis. Barcola could seek Liverpool move One of the names linked with an Anfield arrival over the past few windows has been Bradley Barcola. The France international joined Paris Saint-Germain back in 2023 for around £40m - winning the treble under Luis Enrique last season.
But the 23-year-old would not usually feature in the Spaniard’s ideal starting XI - with Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue all firmly established in the pecking order. The 23-year-old has only started 19 Ligue 1 games for PSG this season and has recently fallen out of the Champions League starting XI too. A report could prompt him to seek a move away from Parc des Princes this summer.
