Liverpool is deep in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain over a potential deal for Bradley Barcola, the 23-year-old French forward who has emerged as the club’s top target to fill the void left by Mohamed Salah’s departure earlier this summer.
PSG is currently valuing the player between £130 million and £145 million, or roughly €130 million to €150 million. Liverpool hasn’t matched that number yet, but the gap between the two clubs appears to be shrinking, with reports indicating the Reds are preparing a final bid in the neighborhood of €140 million that could include performance-related add-ons.
A player who wants out
Barcola has been excluded from PSG’s recent matchday squads, missing games against both Rennes and Lens as transfer discussions have intensified.
The player himself has reportedly expressed a strong desire to make the move to Anfield. He’s said to have communicated that preference directly to Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola, which suggests the personal terms side of this equation isn’t the problem.
