Liverpool readies blockbuster bid for PSG winger Barcola

According to BBC Sport, Liverpool are set to make Bradley Barcola their third signing over £100m, following Florian Wirtz (£116m) and Alexander Isak (£125m). The French PSG winger has become the Reds' primary target, with Liverpool offering around £100m while the Parisians are holding out for approximately £145m.

Barcola, 23, is a versatile winger who can play on the left, right or through the middle. The player has won two Champions League titles with PSG in the past two seasons, plus three Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups and other honours. A move to Anfield would give him increased playing time, as he currently competes with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué for game time in Paris.

The pursuit addresses Liverpool's need to strengthen their attack following Mohamed Salah's summer departure. Barcola impresses with his offensive output: he scored 11 league goals last season and leads European wingers in shot positioning, with an xG of 9.83 in the 95th percentile. His profile blends ball-carrying ability with centre-forward instincts, a legacy of playing that position until age 17, making him capable of both finishing and creating chances.
