Liverpool preparing bid for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola – sources

Liverpool is set to submit an official bid for Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, according to sources. Preliminary discussions have taken place between the Reds and Barcola’s representatives, with the player expressing a strong desire to move to Anfield.

Barcola, whose contract with PSG runs until 2028, is reportedly valued at around €150 million (£128.5 million/$170.9 million). Following the departure of Mohamed Salah at the end of last season, Liverpool is actively seeking a top-tier winger to bolster their squad.

Interest in Barcola

The Merseyside club’s interest in Barcola is longstanding, and he has indicated that he will not extend his contract with PSG. Last season, the France international played 49 matches for PSG, netting 13 goals and providing seven assists, contributing significantly to the team’s success in retaining both the Ligue 1 title and the Champions League.

Barcola faced fierce competition in the forward line from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué, which limited his playing time. Sources suggest he is keen on a fresh challenge, and Liverpool presents a promising opportunity.

In addition, Barcola showcased his talent on the international stage during the FIFA World Cup 2026, scoring three goals in eight appearances for France. He primarily plays on the left wing but is also capable of operating on the right flank, making him a versatile asset for Liverpool.
