Liverpool enter talks with PSG over Bradley Barcola
According to updates shared by a prominent insider at X, Liverpool have officially opened club-to-club talks with PSG.
Anfield officials have backed up the interest with an official bid for the 23-year-old striker.
The Merseyside club are on the hunt for a new player after parting ways with Mohamed Salah this summer. Barcola, who has shown excellent pedigree in Europe in the Champions League with the French giants, fits the profile of Liverpool’s modern striker perfectly.
After France’s elimination from the summer tournament round, a clear window has emerged for the England team to push hard in the negotiations.
Securing Barcola’s services won’t come cheap, with reports suggesting PSG will demand a hefty fee for their prized asset, but Liverpool’s first offer marks a tangible statement of intent.
“Exclusive: Our sources say Liverpool are in club-to-club talks with PSG over Bradley Barcola. We understand an opening bid has been sent. There is no bid for Arsenal yet.”
Arsenal are also looking for Barcola after missing out on Morgan Rogers
Liverpool are not alone in their interest in the Frenchman, as Premier League rivals Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the situation.
The Gunners are eager to strengthen their attacking options after their pursuit of Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers ended.
Mikel Arteta’s side view Barcola as a good addition to their forward fluid, with some reports even suggesting the player would be interested in a move to London.
Despite their strong interest, the North London club have yet to prove Liverpool’s determination.
As it stands, Arsenal have yet to submit an official bid to the reigning Ligue 1 champions. Liverpool are currently involved with regular club-to-club talks having begun, but the threat of a late hijack by Arsenal remains looming should the Gunners decide to turn their interest into a formal bid.
Barcola could be a good signing for Liverpool
While the void left by Salah in Liverpool’s attack will not be easily filled, Barcola is high on the Reds’ target list and the Frenchman could be a good option to bolster their attack in the new season under Andoni Iraola.
