Liverpool are reportedly preparing a €100 million move for Bradley Barcola this month, with the winger keen to experience a new challenge away from PSG.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool could make a €100 million bid to test PSG’s resolve on Bradley Barcola this month. The French winger is discontent in Paris owing to a lack of importance in the squad despite playing with regularity, as the Premier League could be his next destination.
Bradley Barcola was the subject of speculation back in the summer when there were rumors stating the winger could depart PSG. He remains a key part of Luis Enrique’s squad, albeit not being a starter every week.
Barcola has experienced excessive rotation in this team, as Enrique does have plenty of options to play around with. The 23-year-old PSG star is mostly a rotational option with Desire Doue in the squad, while the manager does not play him on his preferred left wing all the time.
The report emphasises Barcola’s unhappiness in the team, with suggestions that the winger could angle for an exit this month. He seeks an important career move, with a host of top teams interested, including Liverpool.
Liverpool did hold an interest in Barcola, as they view him as a key part of their long-term planning and a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, not in the sense of position. The Reds are reportedly prepared to pay €100 million this month and test PSG’s resolve on the 23-year-old, as he could, on paper, be a top-notch signing for the Merseysiders.
Will PSG sell Bradley Barcola?
PSG are known for their high leverage negotiation tactics, and at this moment, they have no reason to offload a top star like Barcola. While finances are never a problem for the Parsians, it may take an effort from the player to secure a move away from the club, as Liverpool’s €100 million offer could also hold some importance in discussions.
Liverpool does have a big gap in their attack, particularly in Barcola’s preferred left wing slot, which could make the 23-year-old PSG star a big investment for the present and future. Deals like these in the January window are often tricky, although a large enough offer could place the Merseysiders in form contention for the Frenchman in the near future.
