Liverpool are preparing to negotiate with Paris Saint-Germain for winger Bradley Barcola, with several reports indicating the Merseysiders are looking to add a long-term attacking option this summer. Sky Sports says Liverpool are set to open talks with PSG, while other outlets describe Liverpool pursuing the player as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah after his departure.

PSG’s position remains guarded. Metro reports PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi refuses to rule out a move and says “he’s a PSG player,” while noting there are discussions and negotiations. Multiple sources also highlight PSG’s reported asking price of around £145 million, which could make any deal difficult unless terms change.

There are also differing angles on where negotiations stand. The Mirror suggests momentum in Liverpool’s favour, including claims of a potential offer delay tied to PSG steps such as medical arrangements, and that PSG are working toward securing a replacement if Barcola leaves. Yahoo Sports adds context by questioning value for money given Barcola’s recent output and reports a verbal agreement to join Liverpool, while Sky Sports frames him among alternatives as Liverpool also consider other targets.
