While personal goals are not expected to be a major obstacle, Liverpool still have to close the level gap with PSG.
According to other reports, the Reds have already made a bid worth €120m.
The French champions are maintaining a tough stance on negotiations and will only allow Barcola’s departure if an extraordinary financial package is presented.
Liverpool are facing difficult negotiations with PSG
Although Barcola is said to be open to a move to Anfield, convincing PSG may be a major hurdle.
The French club consider the 23-year-old to be one of their key attacking players and are expected to demand a premium fee ahead of the transfer talks.
Liverpool are therefore faced with the challenge of deciding whether to meet PSG’s price or continue negotiations in an attempt to lower the asking price.
With time left for the transfer window, it is expected that discussions between the clubs will continue.
Liverpool is involved in this race
Liverpool are not the only club to have shown an interest in Barcola, with Arsenal also linked with the Frenchman in recent weeks.
However, reports suggest that the winger’s preference is to join Liverpool if he leaves Paris this summer.
The move could strengthen Liverpool’s position if formal club-to-club talks materialize, although the Reds will still need to convince PSG to agree to a transfer.
At the moment, negotiations are still ongoing, but there is no agreement between Liverpool and PSG, which means that the deal is yet to be completed.
