Barcola left out of PSG squad with Liverpool negotiations underway

Bradley Barcola has been left out of Paris Saint-Germain's squad for tonight's match against Lens, a clear signal of how far along negotiations with Liverpool have progressed. According to Fabrizio Romano, the French winger is not even on the bench at Parc des Princes.

Personal terms agreed

The key detail: Barcola and Liverpool have already agreed personal terms, a deal struck last week. Club-to-club talks are still ongoing to finalize the financial terms, but the player has already said yes to the Reds. Romano is emphatic: the deal is "absolutely on".

Barcola's omission from the squad sheet is a clear hint from PSG about where things stand. Now it's down to Liverpool and the Parisians to seal the numbers and make one of January's biggest moves official.
