Liverpool are said to be having ‘daily’ conversations about signing a top-tier winger. The Reds are expected to spend significant money again this summer following a summer of huge spending ahead of the season just gone.

Andoni Iraola will get the chance to put his own stamp on his new squad, and he has already made a start with the incoming signing of Víctor Muñoz from Osasuna.

The Reds certainly aren’t done there though, and it’s likely Iraola will want to add a more polished winger before the summer is out, given Mo Salah has moved on this summer.

Liverpool are said to be discussing the possibility of signing PSG winger Bardley Barcola, who is likely to be one of the biggest names on the move this summer. Fabrizio Romano said on Born’n Red: “It’s just internal conversations… nothing advanced. He was a target in 2025 and remains a name mentioned on daily basis in 2026.

“This could depend on different opportunities or exits, we will see what happens. I will never come on here and say it’s one or the other player because I’m telling you what I know and it’s that Liverpool are maintaining contact for Diomande and Barcola – it’s at completely different stages because Diomande there’s already a bid and they are talking to the agents but for Barcola it’s an internal feeling they have, internally at Liverpool they are discussing about Barcola every single week. They wanted him ideally in summer 2025 but was not possible. If PSG open the doors to an exit later this summer, Liverpool could be there. It’s a name they keep mentioning at the club whilst they negotiate with Diomande.”

The Barcola vs Diomande decision

Liverpool will have to decide whether to sign one of Barcola and Diomande, and there may yet be other irons in the fire. Both are going to be very expensive signings, but Diomande is likely to be a little cheaper, especially when factoring in wages.

Diomande is also a less proven commodity at 19 years of age, while the ‘world-class’ Barcola has already established himself at the top of the game, and he has already proven he can turn up on the biggest occasions with PSG. He netted 13 and assisted seven last season in a hugely successful campaign for the French club.

On paper, Barcola is the safest option. He would come in a clear starter and he is still only 23 years of age himself, so Liverpool would not be missing out on that future potential. That could attract the Reds, given they have already signed a relatively inexperienced player on the other wing in Muñoz

But Barcola is more expensive for a reason, and as we are seeing at this World Cup, Diomande looks to be a superb talent, and if Liverpool do not sign him, it’s likely another top club will as RB Leipzig brace for a big pay day.

Tottenham‘s bid to sign Sandro Tonali this summer could cost them one of their most talented young players. Spurs are on a mission to overhaul their squad this summer after back-to-back bottom-half finishes, and they are already off to a good start with three signings, including the statement signing of centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke.

Spurs are getting firmly behind De Zerbi after narrowly dodging relegation, and while the likely high number of new signings is exciting for supporters, there are consequences to such moves. New arrivals often mean less play time for others, and while some will stick around and battle for a starting spot, others will be forced out, not content with reduced minutes.

And the potential deal that could take Newcastle United star Tonali to Hotspur Way could force out a highly-valued Spurs star this summer.

Tonali to Tottenham latest and a likely exit

Tottenham have had a £75million deal rejected by Newcastle for Tonali, but they could well return with a fresh bid, knowing the Magpies will likely sell for £80-£90million, especially after they missed out European qualification.

But the midfield signing, which would add to the capture of Conor Gallagher in January, could leave young talent Lucas Bergvall seeing reduced game time, especially with James Maddison back and Xavi SImons set to return in the winter.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Spurs could now lose Bergvall, but they will not let him go on the cheap.

“Remember, he was. 50/50 Tottenham, Barcelona, Barcelona, Tottenham, then Tottenham closed the deal,” Romano recalled on his YouTube channel. “It was a long time ago, but Lucas Bergvall is still convinced that Tottenham was the right step, but he’s feeling that with Tottenham going for Sandro Tonali – Tottenham wanted to add more players in midfield – he’s not going to find the space he needs in order to develop and to grow under Roberto De Zerbi, and this is why Bergvall wants to go, probably £45-50m could take deal done.”

Bergvall could be a big loss

Still only 20 years of age, Bergvall is a huge talent with a big future, and there is no doubting it would be a huge risk for Spurs to allow him to leave at this stage of his development.

Speaking last week, Bergvall’s Sweden teammate, Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren, said: “Lucas is, after all, one of the greatest talents Sweden has ever had. He’s amazing both as a player, and I really like him as a person.”

Spurs want to win now under De Zerbi, but they are going to have to be careful when signing so many players that they do not abandon young players who could go on to become world-class players elsewhere.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi is now pushing the club to complete a ‘shock’ move to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, as new details emerge from the i Paper.

Having finished 17th and escaping relegation on the final day of the Premier League season, De Zerbi is in no mood to stand still as he looks to make some hugely ambitious signings to bring Tottenham back up the standings.

Spurs have already announced a trio of signings who bring great Premier League experience with them in Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi, with the former winning both the Premier League and the Champions League during his time with Liverpool.

With those three additions and Pedro Porro signing a new long-term contract, De Zerbi can be happy with how the defence is shaping up ahead of next season, but now he wants to further strengthen in front of them too.

Spurs are working on deals to land Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes from Newcastle United and West Ham United respectively, with both players being eyed by some of the Premier League’s elite.

Tottenham are also looking to make new signings in the frontline as they plan to complete seven summer additions.

According to the i Paper, United forward Rashford is the next target on Tottenham’s ambitious summer transfer wishlist.

De Zerbi has made it clear he wants proven Premier League players in the building, as shown by the three additions so far and the desire to sign Tonali and Fernandes, and Rashford also fits the bill.

Spurs aren’t willing to pay the England international’s £40m release clause, but they are willing to submit a lower offer to try and convince United to agree to a permanent exit.

De Zerbi is understood to be a huge fan of the 28-year-old and will push Tottenham’s hierarchy to agree a deal for him, even though the £315,000-a-week player’s preference is to move abroad again following his successful loan spell with Barcelona.

Tottenham Also in Talks to Sign Brazilian Forward

Tottenham’s top left-winger target this summer has been Manchester City star Savinho, who they also tried to secure 12 months ago.

While Spurs have made quick progress on certain deals, a move for the Brazilian does appear to be dragging, even though the window only officially opened a week ago.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Savinho remains a ‘strong possibility’ for the north Londoners and that the club is in talks with both City and the player’s agent over a move.

The positive for Tottenham is that, like a year ago, the player is keen on a switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is no surprise given he found first-team minutes hard to come by last term under Pep Guardiola.

Agreeing a fee with City looks to be the major hurdle now, but links to players like Rashford suggests they are willing to look elsewhere for their left-winger signing.
