Liverpool are moving closer to a potential deal for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, with multiple reports indicating that negotiations are progressing and that PSG is engaging with English interest.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi does not rule out Barcola leaving and says discussions and negotiations are ongoing, while also emphasizing that Barcola is still a PSG player. The sources also describe PSG as having set a steep asking price—reported at around £145 million—creating uncertainty over whether Liverpool can meet demands, particularly with a transfer deadline approaching.

Across outlets, there are differences in how concrete the situation appears. The Mirror and Yahoo Sports report that Liverpool’s pursuit is gaining momentum, including claims that PSG has made compromises and that Barcola’s personal terms may have been agreed or that a verbal agreement to join has been reached. Other coverage, including Metro, underscores PSG’s reluctance to provide clarity and highlights wider context, such as Arsenal also monitoring the situation and needing alternatives after failing to land a top target. Metro also points to Barcola’s status returning from international duties, and the possibility that the transfer hinges on resolving the remaining pricing and deal conditions.
