Liverpool are still tracking Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, with reports in France claiming Paris Saint-Germain want around €175 million for the pair.
Barcola valuation remains the key sticking point
Talks are said to be ongoing, but the fee remains the main obstacle. Sky Sports previously reported that PSG had valued Barcola at about £145 million, before newer reports suggested that figure has dropped to around £125 million.
Liverpool have not been described as close to an agreement, and the latest claims indicate that negotiations are still active rather than settled.
Mbaye also on Liverpool's list
Mbaye has also emerged as a live option for Liverpool in recent days. The 18-year-old came through PSG's academy and is being considered by the Premier League club as a possible attacking addition.
Both players were left out of PSG's squad for the match against Lens, which has added to speculation about their future. The omission has not been explained in the source material, but it has intensified the talk around the two forwards.
