Liverpool are preparing an opening offer for Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, following discussions with the player's representatives. The 23-year-old is a key target for Liverpool as they aim to bolster Andoni Iraola’s squad with a proven winger for the upcoming season.
PSG has reportedly set a valuation of approximately £145m for Barcola, a sum that would constitute a British record. Barcola, who has two years remaining on his contract, is believed to have declined a contract extension offer.
Liverpool has been exploring Barcola's interest in a move to Anfield and, having received encouragement regarding his willingness to join the Premier League, are expected to submit a bid in the coming days. It remains to be seen if Liverpool will meet PSG's valuation, but the club intends for Barcola to be a significant summer signing.
This summer, Liverpool has already secured versatile forward Víctor Muñoz from Osasuna and finalised Jérémy Jacquet’s transfer from Rennes for an initial £55m. However, the club is looking to further strengthen both its attack and defence, with Iraola reportedly concerned about defensive options.
