Liverpool may have a deal ready to go here. A sensational €100m transfer is on the cards.
Liverpool are underway with their transfer business. It will be slow going, however, as the World Cup delays the usual domino effect of a transfer window.
Still, the Reds are trying to make some things happen and they’ve got a lot to do. High-profile exits coming on the back of a very disappointing campaign under Arne Slot necessitate plenty of arrivals.
One area of concern is unquestionably the wing. Liverpool struggled to produce from wide positions after losing Luis Diaz in 2025, while Mohamed Salah’s departure creates further need for an elite new face.
So that’ll be why Bradley Barcola is such a target. Anfield Watch exclusively revealed back in April that Liverpool viewed the Frenchman as a genuine opportunity this summer.
Now TeamTalk reports that there have been initial talks between Liverpool and Barcola’s camp. This comes shortly after claims that Barcola has told Paris Saint-Germain that he does indeed want to leave the club in search of regular first-team football.
Now, Barcola won’t come cheap, with prices quoted around €100m. He is, however, the kind of calibre that Liverpool need and available to buy. The latter is something that may not be true of Yan Diomande, for instance.
PSG Career and Performance
As of 14 June 2026, Bradley Barcola is a 23-year-old winger for Paris Saint-Germain. Since his transfer from Lyon in 2023, the dynamic forward has cemented his status as a key attacking catalyst in France. The 2025/26 campaign proved to be his most prolific yet, with Barcola registering 38 appearances across all competitions, scoring 14 goals, and providing 11 assists. His clinical performances on the left flank were instrumental in guiding PSG to another Ligue 1 championship and a deep run into the UEFA Champions League knockout stages, earning him a spot in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year.
International Status and World Cup Involvement
Barcola is currently in North America with the France national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After a spectacular domestic season, manager Didier Deschamps named the winger in his final 26-man tournament squad. Barcola featured prominently in Les Bleus' recent warm-up fixtures, scoring a brilliant individual goal in a friendly against Chile. He enters the tournament expected to challenge for a starting role on the wing, with elite European clubs monitoring his progress despite a PSG contract running until June 2028.
