Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola appears to have reached the stage at which admiration has to be separated from valuation.
The France international remains firmly on Liverpool's radar, according to Sky Sports, but Paris Saint Germain's current asking price of £145 million represents a considerable obstacle. Liverpool have communicated how far they are prepared to go and, for now, there appears to be substantial distance between the clubs.
For Andoni Iraola and Liverpool's recruitment team, patience may now prove every bit as important as persuasion.
Speaking on Sky Sports News, Vinny O'Connor explained Liverpool's current position:
"Liverpool are still there effectively for Bradley Barcola, but they've put a valuation on Barcola and said to PSG, this is how far we'll go.
