Liverpool have made significant progress in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, with the two clubs reaching an agreement in principle overnight. According to reporting from The Athletic, the transfer package is valued at over €135 million, equivalent to approximately £116 million, though final details require completion before the move becomes official.
The 23-year-old French international represents a major addition to Liverpool’s attacking options should all conditions be satisfied. Barcola, who has been Liverpool’s primary target throughout the summer window, joined PSG from Lyon in 2023 and has since become a vital contributor for the Parisian club. The deal’s completion would mark the most expensive transfer of the 2026 summer period.
Negotiations between the two Premier League and Ligue 1 clubs are entering their final stages, with both parties working to resolve outstanding contractual matters on Thursday morning. However, nothing has been formally signed, and officials from Liverpool have not yet released any public statement confirming the transfer agreement.
The potential acquisition of Barcola may influence the future of Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, who has attracted sustained interest from rival clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City during the current transfer window.
