Liverpool have reignited their long-standing interest in PSG winger Bradley Barcola, according to French media.
The Reds remain one of the protagonists of this transfer window as their business is far from done despite already having spent north of €300 million on new recruits.
Liverpool are still chasing Alexander Isak, and their hopes of landing him have been boosted by Newcastle boss Eddie Howe isolating him from the rest of the squad after his unsanctioned trip to San Sebastian.

Meanwhile, the Anfield club are also in the market for a new centre-back as that department is looking worryingly light after the sale of Jarell Quansah.
The left wing is another area that could yet be bolstered. Rio Ngumoha has shown huge promise in pre-season, but at just 16, he is not expected to be a full-time replacement for Luis Diaz.
Liverpool still keen on Barcola
A name heavily associated with Liverpool has been Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo. The Brazilian has yet to make a firm decision on his future and remains one to watch in the final weeks of the window.
According to L'Equipe, the Los Blancos man isn't the only winger appreciated by the Reds. The French outlet claims that Liverpool have also maintained their long-standing interest in PSG star Bradley Barcola.
The 22-year-old's future has been the subject of heated debate in his native France. Earlier this year, reports suggested that he could leave the club this summer after losing his place to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
However, when Bayern Munich tried to sign him, PSG insisted that Barcola wasn't for sale, and the press subsequently began reporting that the youngster was likely to extend his contract.
The above-mentioned report now states that Barcola could be convinced to move because of Liverpool's persistent interest, but it is acknowledged that it would require a lot of persuasion to change PSG's not-for-sale stance.
The fee required to prise Barcola away will likely be in the same €100 million ballpark that Rodrygo is set to command should he opt to leave Real Madrid. The France international currently has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €71.5m.
