Liverpool will be eager to ramp up their transfer business as the new Premier League season edges closer. The Reds will face Monaco in a friendly at Anfield this weekend, having recently completed a pre-season tour of the USA.

The Anfield outfit finally welcomed new signing Victor Munoz to the club this week, after he signed from Osasuna earlier in the summer. The Spanish winger and French centre-back Jeremy Jacquet are the only new faces at the Reds so far this pre-season, with Liverpool in need of more reinforcements.

Much has been made of the club's chase of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, with the European champions said to be demanding a huge fee from the Reds. Today's news sees PSG's latest stance on Barcola's price tag emerge, while a World Cup star reportedly agrees to a move to Paris.

PSG set Bradley Barcola terms

PSG are reportedly insisting on raking in a staggering 128million for Barcola this summer, according to L'Equipe. The substantial price tag is believed to be the reason a transfer to Liverpool has failed to materialise so far, but it is less than the initial 145m that the French side were originally quoted as wanting for the player.

It's believed that the Reds would prefer to pay around 103m for the winger with Barcola said to be open to the move. The BBC say Liverpool are preparing to change their stance and up their offer to get the deal over the line, while L'Equipe says that, while the two clubs are "very far apart", the transfer is expected to be sealed before the window closes.

The fee for Barcola has some concerned. Ex-Anfield star Michael Owen believes the Reds will have to be realistic when it comes to shelling out such cash for the French winger.

Owen told the ECHO, via Casino.org: "Barcola, he's obviously the big name on everybody's lips. It sounds like he might be available. It sounds like he's going to be expensive, though - but they're going to have to make some form of statement signing, of course. You know, it used to be Salah, and [Sadio] Mane and [Luis] Diaz.

"Obviously [Barcola has] played at the highest level, but, yeah, at some point you've got to say no, haven't you? If it gets to 145m, wow, that's eye-watering."

Ferran Torres 'says yes' to transfer

Barcelona star Ferran Torres has reportedly agreed to join PSG this summer in a move that could grease the wheels for Barcola to join Liverpool. The Spanish World Cup winner is said to be mulling over his future while on holiday after his exploits at the tournament this summer.

That decision has been made according to Spanish outlet Sport, with Torres giving the green light to PSG boss Luis Enrique for a switch. The forward has made no secret of his openness to leaving Barca in recent interviews.

"In the world of football, you never know," Torres said when questioned about a possible departure from the Catalan giants this summer.

In July, Sport reported that Enrique himself intervened to bring the former Manchester City star to Paris. Barcelona have stated they would sell for a generous offer but are happy to keep the forward this summer.

PSG are now set to make an offer for Torres' transfer, with the desire to finalise a move before the Spanish international's return next week following the World Cup. The capture of Torres would represent another building block as PSG look to restructure their attack this summer.

Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche is reportedly close to joining while they are also working on a deal to sign Mika Godts, the Belgian forward from Ajax. If those deals go through, it could potentially lay the groundwork for Barcola to depart for the Reds and put to bed the long-running transfer saga.
