Liverpool is intensifying efforts to sign Paris St-Germain attacker Bradley Barcola and is currently finalizing an initial transfer bid. The 23-year-old French international, who played a significant role in his nation’s 2026 World Cup semi-final run, is viewed by the Reds as the leading candidate to succeed Mohamed Salah following the veteran’s departure last season.
While PSG reportedly values the winger at approximately £145m—a sum that would establish a new British transfer record—Liverpool hopes to negotiate a fee nearer to £100m. Although Barcola remains under contract for another two years, he is reportedly interested in pursuing a fresh start with Liverpool due to limited playing time in Paris. This pursuit follows the club’s unsuccessful attempt to recruit Yan Diomande, who is expected to sign with Real Madrid instead.
