Liverpool are preparing a move for Bradley Barcola so we asked if you think the quotation is a fair one. Paris St-Germain value the 23-year-old at around £145m, while the Reds think any deal should be around £100m.
Here are some of your comments:
John: Truly flabbergasted at his price. Not denying his quality and potential but when you hear Vinicius Jr is valued at £137m you have to give your head a scratch.
Lee: He's proved his worth. A big signing for the new manager makes sense, get the season started with a buzz. Realistically we still need to look at the back four conundrum though.
Kate: I think its scandalous the amount of money paid for these players! It's going up and up. If you want the best around then they know you'll pay but look what happened last season. I'm on the fence here, I do want Barcola but at that price, I think we should invest in quality, experienced defenders instead. We don't want a weak backline. Iraola knows how to get the best out of what we've got. We need defenders.

PSG remains keen to keep Bradley Barcola this summer despite the player's reported interest in leaving the club, and the French champions are expected to discourage the ******* nal target from seeking a move when he returns to training.
Barcola is believed to be looking for a new challenge after winning back-to-back Champions League ******* les with PSG, even though he has found it more difficult to secure a regular place in the starting line-up. His situation has attracted interest from several clubs ahead of the new season.
The winger showed at the World Cup that he can perform at the highest level when he is given regular playing time, and ******* nal is eager to sign him during this transfer window. The Gunners believe he would strengthen their attacking options and add further quality to the squad.
However, PSG is unwilling to let Barcola leave without a fight and is determined to persuade him to remain at the club for at least another season. That stance could make it difficult for ******* nal to complete a deal despite its strong interest.
Liverpool is also in the race for the winger, increasing the competition for his signature. Even so, PSG's determination to keep the player may prove to be the biggest obstacle for any club hoping to secure his services this summer.

Liverpool have stepped up their interest in Paris St-Germain's Bradley Barcola and are preparing an opening bid.
Barcola, 23, has been identified as the primary option for Liverpool as they look to replace Mohamed Salah, who left at the end of last season.
The France winger is valued by PSG at around £145m. Such a fee would break the British transfer record but those at Anfield are keen on striking a deal closer to the £100m mark.
Barcola has two years left on his contract but is understood to be keen on a move to the Reds and a new challenge after falling down the pecking order at PSG.
Liverpool had initially wanted Yan Diomande but the RB Leipzig winger is now set to join Real Madrid.

Liverpool are interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola this summer.
According to The Athletic, the Reds are set to make an official bid for the 23-year-old.
PSG are reportedly demanding a £145 million fee to sanction a sale, but the Premier League giants have no intention to meet such a high valuation.
Liverpool want to secure a deal closer to £100m, given the player has made it clear he won't sign a new contract at the Parc des Princes.
Barcola has significantly enhanced his reputation as one of the best young forwards since joining PSG in 2023.

A reputable source on X (formerly Twitter) insisted that fans should keep a close eye on this story as it develops, with the Merseysiders simultaneously pursuing Bradley Barcola at PSG.
The Brazilian enjoyed an impressive first half-season in the Premier League, registering seven goal contributions (five goals and two **** ists) in 15 games.
At 19 years of age, the right-sided winger has already impressed in a campaign that uniquely frustrated wide players as the English top-flight shifted towards more physical play and set-pieces.

Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola has verbally agreed to join Liverpool this summer, according to L'Equipe.
But there is uncertainty whether a transfer will materialise due to the significant gap in valuation between the two clubs.
PSG want a record £145 million fee to sanction a sale. The Ligue 1 giants are citing recent deals for Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers as inflationary benchmarks for the Frenchman's valuation.
Barcola has emerged as one of the best young forwards since joining PSG in 2023.
He has made 152 appearances across all competitions, bagging 39 goals and 37 **** ists.

Liverpool are still plotting big changes up top this summer.
We've seen Mohamed Salah move on - agreeing to rip up his £400k per week deal one year early.
That opens a gap at right wing - with Bradley Barcola the favoured candidate to arrive. The 2024/25 Premier League champions will still need to meet Paris Saint-Germain's asking price - currently set at £145m.
If that price doesn't come down we could see the Anfield side move on to other targets.
And now one intriguing opportunity has sprung up according to a report in Fichajes. Because Richard Hughes and Andoni Iraola are viewing Real Madrid's Endrick as a market opportunity as Los Blancos move closer to a deal for Yan Diomande.

#still #Liverpool #mohamed #salah

Arsenal have an incredibly bold plan. It's one that should send a £100m winger to Liverpool.
Liverpool desperately need a new winger after Mohamed Salah's exit. They needed one anyway, given no one replaced Luis Diaz - though, the hope is that Victor Munoz will now do that.
But replacing Salah is another matter entirely. He was the main attacking output in the team, both for goals and ***** ists. Yes, he had a down year last term but his numbers remained higher than just about every potential replacement.
It's why Liverpool are trying to shop in the elite bracket right now. That started with a move for Yan Diomande but despite initially believing it was on, the player rejected them for Paris Saint-Germain (and subsequently rejected them for Real Madrid).
Now the main target is Bradley Barcola, a player Anfield Watch initially reported was a target back in April. He was viewed as a 'market opportunity' back then - though, it's now debatable how correct that was.

Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg reports on X (formerly Twitter) that 'nothing is advanced' as far as negotiations with PSG are concerned.
The Ligue 1 champions are thought to be looking for a fee well in excess of £100m.
From our perspective, it's difficult to imagine Liverpool's decision-makers having much in the way of wiggle room beyond the £100m – at the very least, not significantly beyond that price point.

#beyond #talks #Liverpool #empire

Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola is moving with real purpose, with DaveOCKOP reporting that the club is ready to place a huge offer on the table for the Paris Saint-Germain winger. After the World Cup, attention inside Anfield appears to have sharpened quickly, and the 23-year-old has emerged as the leading attacking target.
The report states that Liverpool's chase "has heated up since the World Cup came to a close earlier this month", and that Barcola "quickly became the priority for the Reds" once Yan Diomande looked set for a different destination. That shift matters, because it suggests planning at senior level has already narrowed onto one preferred option.
There has been no shortage of noise around the numbers. "Widespread reports suggest that PSG will hold fast on their valuation €170m," while it has also been claimed that Liverpool may have room to negotiate. The latest line is clearer. Liverpool "is set to submit a huge proposal to Paris Saint-Germain worth a staggering €110 million (£94 million) upfront." On top of that, "the structure of the deal also includes performance-based bonuses, with an additional €20 million tied to domestic league success and a further €20 million linked to Champions League achievements."

That would bring the total package to €150 million, still below the figure most often attached to PSG's stance. Even so, this is serious money and, more importantly, serious intent. Liverpool would be presenting a deal that gives the French club immediate value and the prospect of more if the player helps deliver major honours.

#million #Liverpool #Paris #huge

Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola (23) is reported to have reached an agreement in principle to join Liverpool, according to information from L'Équipe.
Having made it clear to his club's management that he does not wish to extend his contract – which runs until 2028 – with Les Rouge et Bleu, the French winger is said to have recently spoken with the Reds' new manager, Andoni Iraola, to discuss a potential move.
Although they are far from having reached an agreement on the terms of a transfer at this stage, Liverpool and PSG are indeed in talks to find common ground. The outcome of the deal could hinge on a fee in excess of €120m.
At 23, and after three successful years in the French capital, Barcola is now keen to take his career to the next level and establish himself as a potential first-team regular at a major European club. Often relegated to the role of 12th man in PSG's key fixtures in recent months, the Lyon-born player now seems determined to spread his wings, having reportedly identified Anfield as his preferred destination should a transfer go ahead.

#french #reached #transfer

Liverpool's summer has reached the point where the shape of the squad starts to come into view, and the message from The Athletic is clear enough. The headline issue is at the top end of the pitch. Bradley Barcola is the one they want, the one they rate highest, and the one who would signal ambition at the beginning of Andoni Iraola's reign.
That matters, because this is not a normal reset. Liverpool are trying to recover direction after a turbulent campaign, move on from the post-Arne Slot fallout, and hand a new head coach the tools to build something that looks fast, aggressive and dangerous. There is no point dressing it up. They need quality, they need depth, and they need clarity.
According to the report, "Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool's top target as they look to recruit an elite replacement for Mohamed Salah." That line lands heavily because it frames the whole market for Liverpool. Replacing Salah is not a standard bit of squad maintenance. You do not replace years of goals, ******* ists, fear factor and reliability with a hopeful punt. You need a player with real pedigree, and Barcola clearly fits the bill in Liverpool's thinking.
There is a seriousness to this pursuit. The report states, "Signing the 23-year-old France international would represent a major statement of intent at the start of new head coach Andoni Iraola's reign, but agreeing a deal with Paris Saint-Germain won't be straightforward." That feels like the truth of it. Liverpool can identify the right player, they can make him a priority, but getting him away from Paris Saint-Germain is another matter entirely.
The wider market context in the same report explains why. PSG have set an eye-watering valuation and Liverpool are far from alone in coveting elite attacking talent this summer. Even so, if Liverpool are serious about refreshing the frontline properly, there is no use blinking at the hard part. You either pay for top-class potential and production or you settle for less and hope. Liverpool have done enough hoping over the years to know how risky that can be.

Ferran Torres has had quite the summer. An extra-time winner in the World Cup final sealed success for Spain in North America, etching his name into national and football folklore.
Torres had the most productive season of his Barcelona career in 2025/26, but there are suggestions he could leave as the Spanish side seek to sign Julian Alvarez. We've looked at the likeliest destinations for the forward.
Paris Saint-Germain – 17/20
Paris Saint-Germain are priced as frontrunners as Luis Enrique looks to add even more depth to a star-studded frontline. With Bradley Barcola agitating for an exit and Yan Diomande off to Real Madrid, Torres could offer an ideal replacement. Enrique gave Torres his Spain debut and appreciates his versatile profile.
Liverpool – 2/1

From the outside, Liverpool's failure to seal a move for Marc Guehi last summer looks even more interesting now.
They have a buyback clause with Jarell Quansah, who left for Bayer Leverkusen for £35m last July, but there are no current plans for Quansah to return.
Sources stress that if Liverpool bring in Bradley Barcola, who Paris St-Germain value in excess of £100m, then there will be limitations to what more they can do in the market.
Deals for Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz have cost a combined £94.5m.
Without any major outgoings from Andoni Iraola's squad, there is an understanding that this summer will not be like last summer, when a club record £450m was spent.

Liverpool's interest in Bradley Barcola has become one of the most discussed stories of the current market, and Fabrizio Romano has now offered a pointed update on where things stand. In his latest discussion, Romano urged caution on the speed of any potential move, while making clear that the situation is alive and developing.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the key message for now is patience. He said, "many questions again tonight. I understand the excitement of Liverpool fans. I will tell you more tomorrow, but what I can say tonight as an update is don't expect something something imminent."
That line is central to the current picture around Barcola, Liverpool and PSG. The noise around the situation has grown quickly, but Romano was careful to stress that the pace of events should not be misread.
Romano addressed the intensity of the reaction around the winger directly. His wording left little room for misunderstanding as he explained, "So, I know that now everyone is jumping on the story. No one was caring about the Barcola in Liverpool in April, in May, in June, in July. Now, everyone is jumping on the story, but it doesn't mean that Liverpool signed Barcola today."
That is the current state of play as described by Romano. The conversation around Bradley Barcola and Liverpool may be gathering momentum publicly, but there is no suggestion from his update that an agreement has been completed or that a breakthrough is expected immediately.

#barcola #bradley #fabrizio

Liverpool are ready to test Paris Saint-Germain's resolve over Bradley Barcola, with Nico Schira reporting that a bid worth more than €100 million is being readied for the France winger. The 22-year-old is understood to be Liverpool's leading target as the club plans for life after Mohamed Salah, although PSG are said to value Barcola closer to €150 million to €170 million.
That gap is significant, yet it does not appear to have deterred Liverpool from moving the situation forward. The key line from the update is clear, "Liverpool are now ready to submit a bid to #PSG over €100M to try to sign Bradley #barcola ," which points to fresh intent rather than background admiration. It also underlines that Barcola has moved to the front of Liverpool's thinking in the wide forward market.
Barcola is widely regarded as one of Europe's most dynamic young attackers. His pace, one v one quality and capacity to stretch defences make him a natural fit for Premier League football, and Liverpool's recruitment team will know they are dealing with a player whose ceiling remains extremely high. If Salah's long-term succession plan is being accelerated, this is the sort of profile Liverpool would be expected to pursue.
PSG's stance is equally important here. The suggestion that Paris would demand €150 million to €170 million indicates they are in no rush to sell and would only engage seriously on elite terms. That leaves Liverpool with a familiar decision, pay a premium for a priority target or ***** s whether the market offers stronger value elsewhere.
From Liverpool's side, an opening bid above €100 million would carry weight and demonstrate conviction. It would also set the tone for talks, even if it falls well short of PSG's reported expectations. Clubs often begin with a number that reflects both intent and room to negotiate, especially in a deal of this size.

Liverpool's search for attacking reinforcements continues to dominate the transfer conversation, yet not every reported target has generated universal excitement. During the latest Media Matters podcast for Anfield Index, host Dave Davis was joined by Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, with much of the discussion centred on Liverpool's pursuit of attacking options and whether Chelsea winger Pedro Neto represents the right fit.
While Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool's priority, the conversation also examined reports linking the Reds with Chelsea's Portugal international. Steele's verdict was measured and refreshingly direct.
Dave Davis referenced reports from Steele's Daily Mail colleague Kieran Gill, noting that Liverpool and Manchester City had both been credited with interest in Chelsea forward Pedro Neto. Davis pointed out that Chelsea "wouldn't allow the winger to leave cheap", especially in a market where the values attached to players such as Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande have continued to rise.
Steele confirmed the rumours have been circulating for some time.
"He is one of these names that keeps coming round and round."

Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola continues to gather momentum, with fresh developments suggesting the Paris Saint Germain forward has become the club's leading attacking target.
During the latest Media Matters podcast on Anfield Index, host Dave Davis was joined by Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele to discuss Liverpool's summer recruitment. While several attacking names were mentioned, the conversation repeatedly returned to Barcola and the belief that negotiations are beginning to move into a significant phase.
Steele's insight painted a picture of a transfer that still has obstacles to overcome, but one that Liverpool are working hard to make happen.
Dave Davis opened the discussion by highlighting the latest reports surrounding the PSG winger, noting that Barcola had informed the French champions he would not sign a new contract.
He also referenced Fabrizio Romano's update that the player is "very open and keen on Liverpool", while stressing that any breakthrough would still require patience.

A transfer update shared by Fabrizio Romano on Saturday morning could have significant implications for Liverpool, considering its potential domino effect.
The Reds had been strongly linked with a move for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande throughout June, until it was reported that the Ivory Coast international's preference was to join Paris Saint-Germain.

The Merseysiders have since appeared to switch their attention to PSG forward Bradley Barcola, who Romano has frequently cited as the 'top' summer transfer target at Anfield, but that pursuit may yet be impacted by matters elsewhere.
The Italian transfer reporter took to X at 9am this morning to report that Diomande 'has opened doors' to a potential move to Real Madrid after 'positive talks took place over contract terms'.

According to a report from Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, Michael Olise is not leaving Bayern Munich this summer — which tracks with much the recent reporting on the matter.
If, however, transfer armageddon happens and Olise goes nuclear to force his way out of Bavaria (an extremely unlikely — nut not impossible — scenario), Bayern Munich would make a beeline to pursue Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola:
✅ It is TRUE: Bradley Barcola is one of the names on the shortlist at Bayern Munich if they have to replace Michael Olise. I reported last summer that there was an idea to sign the France international anyway. Even the summer before, the 23-year-old was considered a very interesting player for FC Bayern. He's on the shortlist, but at the moment there is no chance of getting this player for the club. That's because PSG want to give the winger a new contract, and amounts in the region of €150m have been floated if the Ligue 1 champions were to sell the player. However, when you look at the situation – and, as we say, Bayern don't want to sell Olise this summer – the club has to think about the Frenchman's situation if he doesn't sign a contract with Bayern.
When you look at Bradley Barcola's contract, you see he's got a year less left on his terms compared to his international teammate (running out in 2028). So, if he isn't sold this summer to Liverpool, who are clearly interested, or to another club that can afford the asking price, and he's still on the market – and ******* uming that Bayern are forced to sell Michael Olise – with one year left on his contract next summer, then PSG have a decision to make. I personally think he's a player who would fit in perfectly at Bayern Munich. That's also partly due to his affordable salary demands (currently earning €7m-8m gross in Paris, which is half of what Olise earns at Bayern). So, he's one to keep an eye out for as a potential replacement in case Michael Olise leaves.
Barcola is highly coveted by Liverpool and could pursue that destination in the coming weeks. There is a significant chance that if PSG thinks it should cash out on Barcola, it will look to sell him this summer. In that case, Liverpool would have a clear advantage over Bayern Munich as it will likely have a better chance to work out a deal before any type of aggressive move by Olise — which, again, is not likely to happen.

Liverpool have been named among a host of top European clubs showing an interest in a highly coveted winger who could potentially be their next Luis Diaz.
The Colombian was signed from FC Porto in January 2022 for an initial £37.5m (BBC Sport), instantly becoming an idol of the Kop with his dynamism in attack and going on to score 41 goals in 148 appearances at Anfield before leaving for Bayern Munich last year.

Fast forward to July 2026, and the Reds are on the lookout for wide attacking reinforcements as they enter life without Mo Salah, with Bradley Barcola and Maghnes Akliouche seemingly among their primary targets, and they also appear to have their eyes on a teenage talent currently playing in Portugal.
According to a report for Fussballdaten, Liverpool are joined by both Manchester clubs, ******* nal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid in monitoring Porto winger Oskar Pietuszewski.

Christian Falk reports for CF Bayern Insider that the France international is on the shortlist as a potential option to replace their No.17 in case he departs for La Liga.
The expectation remains that the right-sided winger will stay put at the Allianz Arena this summer.
It’s worth emphasising that FC Bayern’s hands (or, more specifically, director of sport Max Eberl’s) are tied in the current market.

Barcelona are not interested in a deal to sign ******* nal and Liverpool target Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spanish champions have been linked with a move to sign Barcola in recent days, as the club seek an attacking addition. Barcelona have bid for Julian Alvarez, of Atletico Madrid, without success and remain keen to add another goalscorer to their ranks.
However, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Barcelona are not targeting Barcola. The La Liga side remain intent on signing Alvarez and are seeking an out-and-out number nine, following Robert Lewandowski’s exit.
Liverpool are leading the chase for the 23-year-old, though face a fight to convince PSG to sell. According to French journalist Sebastien Vidal, Liverpool are preparing to lodge an opening offer of around £85m.
Arsenal also admire Barcola, as Mikel Arteta seeks forward additions. The Gunners have completed the signing of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for £34m, but remain keen to sign another left-sided forward.

#Liverpool

Liverpool have taken an early step in their search for attacking reinforcements, with Sky Sports reporting that the club “have made an initial approach” to Monaco regarding Maghnes Akliouche.
The enquiry is understood to have centred on the potential availability of the 24-year-old France international, who is also attracting serious interest from Paris Saint-Germain. According to the same report, PSG regard Akliouche as a “prime target” and have already submitted multiple bids, the latest believed to be around £34m, all of which have been rejected by Monaco.
Liverpool’s admiration for French attacking talent has been well established in recent weeks. Bradley Barcola has featured prominently in discussions, with strong suggestions that he remains a leading option. Michael Olise has also been mentioned externally. Yet it is Akliouche who now appears to have prompted concrete movement from Anfield.
That matters. In a market where many clubs are still positioning themselves, an initial approach often signals more than casual background checks. It does not guarantee a bid or formal negotiations, but it shows Liverpool are actively ***** sing whether a deal is achievable, both financially and structurally.
Akliouche’s profile will appeal for several reasons. He is comfortable on the right, can operate across the forward line, and has shown the kind of technical quality that makes him attractive to clubs chasing high-upside attackers. He also impressed in Monaco’s 3-1 win over PSG in March, a match watched by Liverpool scouts, contributing a goal and an ***** ist.

Liverpool are in the market to sign an attacker this summer, with the Reds having brought in winger Victor Muñoz from Osasuna already but clearly in need of more given last season's squad shortcomings and the departure of legend Mohamed Salah at the end of the 2025-26 season.
With that in mind, today 24-year-old Monaco right winger and attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche found himself added to the list of potential targets, with Sky's Lyall Thomas first claiming that Liverpool had made an approach for the French international and World Cup bench option.
However, while that news was quickly confirmed by club-connected reporters, it appears likely that this transfer saga might not get past the enquiry stage. At least according to The Echo's Ian Doyle, Liverpool kicked the tires back before the World Cup kicked off—and haven't yet returned.
Whether that means the Reds were quoted a price they didn't consider reasonable or if Akliouche is simply one of many potential targets and not actually near the top of the list, then, today's news feels like old news coming to light more than a revelation of a deal currently in the works.
Liverpool's top wing target to replace Salah had been Yan Diomande before the RB Leipzig winger signalled that his preferred destination was Paris Saint-Germain, and since then most of the focus has been on PSG's Bradley Barcola but with little real new news on that front in some time.

There have also been whispers of a potential swoop for Michael Olise, although it's neither of those who've been the subject of an enquiry from Merseyside.

In a recent post on X, journalist Sebastien Vidal stated that Liverpool are stepping up their efforts to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. It has been mentioned that the Reds are ready to make a £85m bid to convince the French club to part ways with their prized ******* et this summer.
Barcola enjoyed a productive campaign at PSG recently as he put in a handful of impressive performances for them in the final third. The 23-year-old found the back of the net 13 times and earned seven ******* ists in 49 matches for the French outfit last season in all competitions.
The France international is currently one of the most feared wingers in Ligue 1. Therefore, the Reds would do well to get a deal done for him later this year.
His current contract at the French club will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for Liverpool to sign him on the cheap in this transfer window.
