Liverpool seek deadline-day deals amid Premier League start

Published 31 August 2026

Liverpool face a frantic final 48 hours of the summer transfer window as they seek to bolster a squad that has made a disappointing start to the Premier League season under new manager Andoni Iraola. With the deadline on Tuesday, the club is working to finalize the arrival of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola while also negotiating for further additions and managing potential departures. The Reds have drawn their opening two matches, a 1-1 result against Newcastle United followed by a 2-2 stalemate at home to Nottingham Forest, leaving fans concerned about quality in attack, midfield, and defense. The most advanced deal is for Barcola, who completed his medical on Merseyside.
