Andoni Iraola’s summer at Liverpool shows no signs of slowing down. The Spaniard is approaching three weeks in the job since his appointment and has already clinched his first signing in Victor Munoz.
The Spain international boosts the Reds’ depth in attack with more signings targeted at the front end of the pitch. The Premier League side are expected to have yet another significant window of change with the outgoings of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate already altering the make-up of Iraola’s squad.
In terms of incomings, the latest update on the Bradley Barcola transfer saga has emerged, while a transfer agreement with a Reds target has reportedly been clinched. Mirror Football takes a look at the latest news surrounding Anfield.
Barcola’s future is expected to be one of the sagas of the summer as contract talks with Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly at a standstill. The France international is tied to the club until 2028.
But the lack of progress on a new deal has led to reports that the Champions League winners could be open to letting him leave. According to Fabrizio Romano, the winger is subject to interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
The latter have kept a close eye on Barcola since last year. The Reds currently have three left-wingers on the books with Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha and new signing Victor Munoz, with the possible arrival of Barcola making it four.
Such a move for the 23-year-old would be in tandem with the acquisition of Yan Diomande, rather than just one joining the club, it’s claimed.

Earmarked as the replacement for Mohamed Salah, Liverpool have communicated to RB Leipzig their willingness to bid up to £87million for Diomande. However, the Bundesliga side are thought to be holding out for a fee closer to £112m for the Ivory Coast star.
Aiming to clinch a new contract with the 19-year-old, Leipzig could have quite the fight on their hands following reports that the Reds have agreed personal terms with Diomande. According to Media Foot, the winger is willing to join Anfield this summer, with PSG bowing out of the race due to his sizeable price tag.
