Iraola hoping for ‘good news soon’ in Liverpool pursuit of Barcola

Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola is eager for better news regarding a potential acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola as the transfer deadline approaches. According to sources, negotiations with the European champions are progressing favorably, with a reported bid of up to £120 million (US$163 million) in the works. The Reds are also exploring options to sign Brighton's Yankuba Minteh and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr to bolster their attack following Mohamed Salah's departure.

Iraola admitted that while they are not yet close to finalizing a deal, they are actively seeking to strengthen the squad. He expressed uncertainty about the future of Cody Gakpo, who is reportedly on the radar of Manchester City and Tottenham, and reiterated that he cannot guarantee any player's arrival. Despite the uncertainty, Iraola remains focused on improving the team and gaining clarity on his squad ahead of the transfer deadline on September 2.
