July 29, 2026·19 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

On today's Newsround, Dave Davis rounds up the latest from Liverpool's busy transfer window as fresh reports emerge on Bradley Barcola's future. Dave assesses the growing confidence surrounding Barcola's desire to join Liverpool, why personal terms are unlikely to be the issue, and what still needs to happen before a deal with PSG can be completed. He also looks at the differing reports coming from France, the expected opening bid, and why patience may still be required. There's also discussion around Rayan, with Bournemouth's talented winger once again linked with Liverpool, and whether the Reds could realistically move for him this summer. Dave explains how Cody Gakpo's future could influence Liverpool's attacking plans, while also discussing several alternative winger options. Away from transfers, there's a preview of Liverpool's clash with Wrexham, concerns over the lack of defensive depth, the latest on the search for new defenders, and an update on FSG's proposed minority investment.
