What happened. Liverpool have cooled their interest in Ibrahim Mbaye after PSG quoted around €200m for a combined deal with Bradley Barcola, despite holding talks with agent Jorge Mendes.

• Mbaye became PSG's youngest-ever starter at 16 years and six months.
• His route to regular minutes is blocked by Dembele, Kvaratskhelia, Doue and Barcola.
• Liverpool's interest followed Mo Salah's departure and uncertainty over Gakpo's future.

Liverpool still intend to sign at least one more winger before the window shuts on September 1.
