Transfer details

Barcola will surpass the £116.5m deal Liverpool paid for Wirtz

If Barcola's transfer goes through, he will also become Liverpool's second most expensive signing ever after Alexander Isak, who was signed from Newcastle United last summer for £125m.

Meanwhile, Barcola will surpass the £116.5m deal Liverpool shelled out for Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz last summer.

Liverpool's next costliest signing is that of Darwin Nunez, who arrived from Benfica for an initial fee of £64m, which with potential add-ons was said to be £85m, as per Sky Sports News.
