Liverpool targets Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye will not play for Paris Saint-Germain again today.

Neither player was involved in last weekend’s shock French Super Cup defeat by Lens, a decision taken by head coach Luis Enrique amid all the speculation over the wing duo potentially heading to Anfield before the transfer deadline.

That stance will be repeated for the opening game of PSG’s latest Ligue 1 title defence at Rennes later on, per RMC Sport.

Neither Barcola nor Mbaye has made the trip to Brittany as Liverpool work to bring down PSG’s valuation of both players, with talks also continuing with Brighton over Yankuba Minteh following a shock approach to Real Madrid for Endrick.

However, Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal have recently emerged as his top suitors, willing to test Chelsea’s resolve over an eye-watering £100m asking price.

According to the Daily Mail, Conceicao is back on the Blues’ radar in case they do end up parting with Portugal team-mate Neto.

However, Juventus would want to make a profit on the £36m they spent to sign him from Porto last year.

On Friday night, the Red Devils agreed a deal with Brighton for the Cameroon midfielder worth an initial £65m, plus a further £5m in add-ons with a sell-on clause also included.
