A double sale from Paris Saint-Germain to Liverpool could well be on. It would be sensational business.

It's hardly a secret at this point that Liverpool want to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. That's not to say that they'll definitely get him, though - we were saying exactly the same thing about Yan Diomande and RB Leipzig a couple of months ago.

But Liverpool are pushing for this one. They're almost certainly willing to put up a lot of money for Barcola, too, as PSG's asking price is reportedly €180m.

Now, we don't believe that'll be where this settles and Liverpool will do what they can to talk PSG down. Though, we do think there's a real possibility that they don't stop there.

We're big fans of Ibrahim Mbaye, another winger at PSG, albeit one who typically plays on the right. And given Liverpool do need a winger on that side to replace Mohamed Salah, the teenager feels like a wonderful fit.

Well, Fabrice Hawkins reports that Mbaye is definitely leaving PSG this summer. It's something reiterated by Fabrizio Romano - Mbaye is leaving and it's just a matter of 'where'. We really think that should be Liverpool.

After all, the Reds are already in talks with PSG to sign Barcola and we know they want an awful lot of money. That would certainly be easy to negotiate if Liverpool are willing to buy two of their stars.

The Parisians certainly need to shift both if they're to complete all the deals they're chasing, so this feels like win-win. Or win-win-win if you include the fact that Liverpool can offer both Barcola and Mbaye what they're after.

Barcola wants a starring role and Liverpool can certainly give him that on the left flank. He'd be the main source of pace and drive in the team. Mbaye just wants to play more regularly in a role that's his. Again, Liverpool can do that - Salah's exit created a void that the teenager can fill.

And so we really think there's something to this. Both Barcola and Mbaye are available for purchase and they happen to fill real holes in the Liverpool squad.

Get it done, we say.
