Liverpool fans may well be casting a keen eye over France's World Cup showdown with Morocco on Thursday, as a brewing transfer saga provides an intriguing subplot to the quarter-final. Something of a merry-go-round could well see Les Bleus winger Bradley Barcola end up at Anfield this summer - ironically a result of the Reds losing out to his current employers Paris Saint-Germain in the battle to sign Yan Diomande.

Fabian Ruiz has decided to commit his long-term future to Paris Saint-Germain by signing a new contract extension. The Spain international has reportedly snubbed major transfer interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to remain in the French capital, extending a highly successful stint that has yielded consecutive domestic and European trophies.

France may be cruising at the World Cup, but all is reportedly not well behind the scenes in the Les Bleus camp. Despite a perfect run to the quarter-finals, reports suggest that one of Didier Deschamps' brightest young talents is reaching a breaking point over his peripheral role in North America.

Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of highly-rated Italian goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni on a five-year contract keeping him in France until June 2031. The 18-year-old prospect arrives at the Parc des Princes on a free transfer from AC Milan following the expiry of his youth contract, bolstering the club's long-term options.
