Liverpool are set to table an opening bid for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola.
The France international has emerged as Liverpool’s top target in the transfer market as they look to replace Mohamed Salah, who left the club at the end of last season.
Barcola, who has two years remaining on his current deal, is understood to be keen on moving to Anfield.
PSG have indicated that they value Barcola at around £145million but Liverpool have no intention of going that high to secure his services.
They will look to do a deal closer to £100m given that the player has made it clear he won’t sign a new contract at PSG and wants to embark on a new challenge on Merseyside.

Roberto De Zerbi says he would like Lucas Bergvall to remain at Tottenham Hotspur, but he cannot guarantee him a starting role and doesn’t want to “convince anyone to stay”.
Bergvall informed the club of his desire to seek a new challenge in June, and Tottenham have fielded interest from Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest for his signature.

Brentford are close to agreeing a deal to sign Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare.
A deal has not yet been finalised but Brentford are closing in on a move for the Mali international, with the transfer fee expected to exceed the package of £37million ($49.2m; €43.2m at current rates) plus £5m in add-ons they paid Bournemouth for Dango Ouattara last year.
Sangare, 24, would be viewed as a replacement for Jordan Henderson.

Fulham have agreed deals to sign Gonzalo Garcia for €40million and Cesar Palacios for €10m from Real Madrid.
The proposals include a 30 per cent sell-on clause for each player and, all being well, will see the pair follow head coach Alvaro Arbeloa to Craven Cottage from the Spanish capital.

The decision was taken at a virtual meeting of the 55 national associations which are members of UEFA, the European football confederation, on Thursday, according to sources with knowledge of the meeting.

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez will miss the start of the new Premier League season due to the muscle injury he suffered during their current pre-season tour of the US.
The 29-year-old defender’s absence leaves Liverpool short at centre-back with captain Virgil van Dijk starting his pre-season back on Merseyside this week rather than travelling to the US.
New signing Jeremy Jacquet has yet to feature in the friendlies as he builds up his fitness, while Giovanni Leoni is in the final stages of his rehab after a serious knee injury.
Teenagers Ifeanyi Ndukwe and Mor Talla Ndiaye have been the only available centre-backs, with full-back Luke Chambers also filling in there.

Concacaf, the confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean, says it rejects FIFA’s plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
All 41 members of Concacaf met on Thursday to discuss the proposals.
One source with knowledge of the meeting, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, said the feeling and discussion expressed among the vast majority of Concacaf members was that they are losing confidence, or have lost confidence altogether in Gianni Infantino as FIFA President.

Inter have renewed their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.
Inter have since contacted Liverpool via intermediaries, who indicated the Serie A champions are willing to pay €35m for Jones — which still falls short of what Liverpool believe the midfielder to be worth — according to sources.
Jones has just one year left on his contract at Anfield, with senior figures at the club insisting that they would rather lose Jones for free in 2027 rather than sanction his exit for a price worth lower than their valuation.
