Liverpool continue working to strengthen their attack before the new season. Andoni Iraola wants another winger after reshaping his squad this summer.
The Reds have identified Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola as their priority target following Mohamed Salah’s departure. Barcola also wants the move to Anfield.
The France international enjoyed an impressive campaign with PSG, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists in 49 appearances.
He also impressed at the 2026 World Cup with three goals and one assist despite starting only four matches. However, regular starts proved difficult to secure in Paris.
Competition from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue limited Barcola’s opportunities in several of PSG’s biggest matches.
The winger has since informed the French champions that he does not plan to extend his contract beyond 2028.
According to DaveOCKOP, Liverpool have now submitted their opening offer for the 23-year-old.
The proposal is worth around £100M plus performance-related add-ons linked to Premier League and Champions League success. PSG have already responded to the offer.
The Ligue 1 champions want Liverpool to replace those team-based bonuses with more achievable clauses based on Barcola’s individual performances.
Talks between the two clubs will continue as they try to reach a compromise. Meanwhile, PSG are closing in on another attacking signing.
Luis Enrique is pushing to complete the arrival of Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco, and many believe that transfer could pave the way for Barcola’s departure.
Liverpool remain optimistic despite the gap in valuation. Barcola has already expressed his desire to join the Reds, although the clubs must still agree a transfer fee before the move can progress.
