That Liverpool investment story is huge. Those individuals investing are super rich! Zero chance they are doing it to take dividends or leverage their own person debt. It'll be a play to make Liverpool the biggest club in the world
Everyone has called Kerkez, Huijsen, Zabarnyi shit in last 12 months since leaving Bournemouth. Iraola is a miracle worker. Araujo prepare to be given a rebirth.
[🟢] NEW: Interest in Ibrahim Mbaye is separate to Liverpool’s long-running pursuit of Bradley Barcola, although PSG’s £145m valuation of Barcola is proving problematic. As a result, Liverpool are considering a number of options with Mbaye, 18, among those being studied.

‼️ Bradley Barcola would be signed to play left wing for Liverpool, not the Salah replacement!
He would come in ahead of Cody Gakpo in the pecking order should a deal be agreed with PSG, with negotiations progressing slowly but the PSG hierarchy currently unwilling to compromise on a €150m+ valuation.

🔴 Even when they were pursuing Diomande, the Reds were already targeting a double move with Barcola. Liverpool were there last summer (well before targeting Diomande) and came back again last winter to keep constant contact: they’ve wanted Bradley for a long time.
The intention has always been to sign two wingers. If Bradley Barcola joins Liverpool, it will be to play on the left.
In parallel, they are looking for another profile capable of playing on the right, or ideally on both wings, which explains their interest in Mbaye.
Giovanni Leoni:
“Of course, when I had that moment in the first game, in my debut, I said, ‘Why [did this happen] to me?’ But I don’t think that is the best thing to say to yourself.
“So I tried to change [my] mind and to say, ‘OK, it’s happening to me so I have to do something to become better than before.’ This was the best thing to do for me.
“In this period I understood a lot of things. I try to be positive every day, even if I had bad days, because in the first months it’s not simple.
“You have a lot of routines to change. You have a lot of bad days, more than good days at the start. Now of course it’s different but at the start it was tough mentally and physically.
“Then after three or four months everything is more mentally than physically, because you can run, you can start walking again, running again, lift weights, so everything is easier as [concerns] the body. But mentally, it’s a tough journey.
“But for me, if you take everything with a good mentality, you can understand and be back stronger than before. I tried to view it as an opportunity to improve.”
Liverpool have room for both Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye in their squad despite there only being one non-homegrown slot currently available.
Mbaye would not need to be registered as a senior player in the Premier League until 2029/30 when he will be 21. #LFC
