Liverpool has reached an agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain to sign forward Bradley Barcola for a package around £120 million (€140 million), with over £100 million guaranteed. Negotiations involved Liverpool's Richard Hughes, Billy Hogan, and Mike Gordon, alongside PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The 23-year-old France international is Liverpool’s primary target to replace Mohamed Salah and is committed to joining the Merseyside club, having made it clear he does not wish to extend his contract with PSG. This potential transfer could impact Cody Gakpo, who has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. Barcola, a Lyon academy product, made 49 appearances for PSG in the 2025-26 campaign, contributing 13 goals and seven assists, and played a prominent role for France at this summer’s World Cup. He was also part of Luis Enrique's side that won the Champions League in successive years and retained the Ligue 1 title.
