Liverpool step up interest in Barcola
Liverpool are preparing to make their first formal move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as they continue to reshape their attack ahead of the new season.
According to the latest reports, the Premier League club have already held preliminary discussions with the player’s representatives and are now ready to approach PSG. Barcola is believed to be open to a move to England, but no agreement has been reached between the two clubs.
PSG valuation could be the main obstacle
The biggest difficulty is expected to be the transfer fee. PSG reportedly value the 23-year-old at around £145 million, while Liverpool are likely to begin negotiations with a lower offer. That gap means the deal could become one of the longest and most expensive transfer stories of the summer.
Barcola remains under contract in Paris and PSG are under no pressure to sell cheaply. However, reports that the winger is not currently planning to extend his deal may give interested clubs some hope.
Why Liverpool want another winger
Liverpool have made signing a wide attacker a priority following major changes in their forward line. Barcola’s pace, direct running and ability to play on either flank make him an attractive option for a team looking to add more speed and creativity.
The France international has already gained experience in Ligue 1, the Champions League and international football. His age also fits Liverpool’s preference for players who can contribute immediately while still having room to develop.
For now, the transfer should be treated as an active negotiation rather than a completed deal. Liverpool appear ready to test PSG’s position, but the final outcome may depend on whether the French champions are willing to reduce their asking price.
