Liverpool FC are in discussions with Paris Saint-Germain over a potential deal for forward Bradley Barcola, according to L’Équipe. The 23-year-old has reportedly given his agreement in principle to join the Premier League club after speaking with manager Andoni Iraola.
This development comes as Barcola has decided not to extend his contract with PSG, paving the way for a possible departure from the French capital. Currently contracted to PSG until 2028, Barcola will not be available on a free transfer should he move to Anfield in the coming days.
PSG are now willing to negotiate with Liverpool officials regarding a transfer fee. The report in L’Équipe suggests that, given Barcola’s recent performances – including a successful World Cup campaign and consistent seasons with the Ligue 1 champions – a significant fee will be demanded by the Parisian side.
Barcola joined PSG from Lyon in 2023 and has established himself as a regular member of the squad, contributing with goals and assists. He has become a key player for the French champions, making 33 appearances across all competitions last season and scoring 5 goals. Liverpool have been seeking to bolster their attacking options, and Barcola’s arrival would provide competition and depth to Iraola’s forward line. The move could offer Barcola a new challenge and a prominent role in a competitive league.
The potential transfer signals Liverpool’s intent to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, while PSG may look to reinvest the funds from Barcola’s sale into other areas of their team.
