Luis Campos Confirms PSG Transfer Window Activity Amid Liverpool Interest in Barcola and Mbaye

PSG's Transfer Window Remains Active

Luis Campos, the sports advisor for Paris Saint-Germain, has made it clear that the club's transfer dealings are not finished despite the approaching deadline. With the window closing on September 1, PSG are still open to making moves both in signing new players and potentially letting some go.

Campos Issues Market Reminder

Speaking to the media, Campos emphasized that the transfer period is far from over. "The transfer window is still open," he said. "If we spot a good opportunity before it closes, we will take it. It happens every year. Remember last season with Gigio Donnarumma, who left for Manchester City after the window officially closed on September 2nd." This statement signals PSG’s readiness to act late if necessary.

Liverpool Interested in PSG Attackers

Liverpool have turned their attention towards two of PSG’s attacking players: Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye. Barcola had a strong breakout season in Paris and is regarded as one of Europe’s promising wide forwards. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Mbaye has impressed as a rising talent through PSG’s academy, attracting interest from multiple Premier League clubs looking for young offensive options.

Both players were notably absent from PSG’s squad for their recent Ligue 1 opener against Rennes, which ended 2-2. Their exclusion also extended to the Trophée des Champions loss to Lens and the UEFA Super Cup win against Aston Villa earlier in August.

PSG Holding Ground on Barcola and Mbaye

Despite rumors about Liverpool trying to secure both players, PSG remains firm. Coach Luis Enrique sees Barcola as a vital part of his team, and the club considers Mbaye a key asset for the future. When asked about them, Campos was noncommittal: "You mentioned Barcola and Mbaye, we’ll see what happens." Talks with Liverpool continue, with PSG having already turned down an initial offer for Barcola. The club reportedly values Mbaye at around €70 million, a price Liverpool has yet to agree to.

What's Next for PSG?

As the transfer window winds down, PSG aims to improve their form on the pitch while managing negotiations behind the scenes. The team started the season with a defeat in the French Super Cup to Lens and drew 2-2 with Rennes in their league opener. Their next match is against Lille on August 28.

With Campos steering the transfer efforts, PSG looks set to remain active and resist Liverpool’s bids for Barcola and Mbaye until the window shuts.
