Liverpool is reportedly ready to fight Bayern Munich to sign Paris Saints winger Bradley Barcola.
The 22-year-old left-side offensive player appears to face an uncertain future this summer, despite having contributed 17 goals and 14 assists to PSG in all games in 2024/25.
There is a lot of competition in this PSG squad, which may mean Barcola is tempted to try out moves elsewhere.
According to the Sun, Liverpool are now exploring Balcola, another transfer target for the offense this summer.
The report shows that despite the club records being closed, the Reds can spend more signings despite the club records being closed, according to David Ornstein of the Athletics.
Bradley Barcola connects with £100 million transfer target
The Suns say that Liverpool and Bayern Munich are both keen on Balcola, and they sell for as much as £100 million.
The report also mentions Alexander Isak, another big-name target for the LFC, who may step into the monster transfer window of big spending.
Barcola may be more realistic than Isak, and the Suns report shows that Newcastle could ask their star striker for up to £150 million, which is too expensive for Liverpool.
But Barcola’s price is £100 million, arguably a pretty generous price, making him a little cheaper than Wirtz.
Bradley Barcola Statistical Comparison
See below, as in this chart of Datamb, showing Barcola’s comparison with Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo as an option on the left.
These three are obviously great players who have made a lot of contributions in their offense, but Barcola’s tickets are better on assists, key passes and balls.
Given that Barcola is still only 22 years old, he may end up being a better player in the long run, so it is certainly an exciting signing if it happens.
As BBC Sport and others recently reported, it may also be that Barcola is seen as replacing Barcola is a subject of interest to Barcelona.
