Arne Slot stepped into his second summer in charge of Liverpool with focus on new signings, major outgoings and to retain their Premier League title.
With Luis Diaz joining Bayern Munich and the Reds struggling to sign Alexander Isak, French reports linked them to Bradley Barcola.
The 22-year-old had just finished a season where he scored 21 goals and assisted 21 times across 64 matches and played more minutes than any other PSG attacker.
But despite the links, Liverpool are not considering to sign Bradley Barcola from the French club.
According to The Athletic, the club wants to prioritise the development of their own talent, Rio Ngumoha, and avoid blocking his path.
Ngumoha, a teenager from Liverpool’s academy has impressed everyone with two goals and two assists in just four matches in pre-season.

Liverpool have already made significant spending
Liverpool have already spent over £250m [$334m] this summer.
Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for £116m [[$155m], including add-ons which made him the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
Jeremie Frimpong signed to strengthen the right side of the defence. Milos Kerkez arrived to provide cover and competition on the left. Hugo Ekitike was brought in to add more options in the attacking line.
Liverpool are still pushing to sign Alexander Isak and are ready to make a record bid for the Newcastle striker.
To balance the spending, Liverpool have sold some key names.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Tyler Morton and Luis Diaz have all been let go.
Darwin Nunez is also expected to leave for Saudi Arabia.
