## Resource

On today's Newsround, Dave Davis brings the latest on Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola, with reports suggesting talks with PSG are progressing and an opening bid is being prepared. Dave examines why personal terms are unlikely to be an issue, the gap in valuation between the clubs, and whether PSG's move for Maghnes Akliouche could finally unlock a deal for the French winger. There's also concern over Liverpool's midfield plans after reports the Reds have cooled their interest in Ayyoub Bouaddi, while Mamadou Sangaré edges closer to a Premier League move elsewhere. Dave discusses whether Liverpool are now relying on Trey Nyoni to step up and whether that will be enough heading into the new season. Away from transfers, there's reaction to the latest reports surrounding Amit Bhatia's proposed investment in Liverpool, the long-term implications for FSG, the latest on Rayan following Bournemouth's injury setback, and what Newcastle's managerial change could mean ahead of Liverpool's opening Premier League fixture. All that and much more on the latest Newsround with Dave Davis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
