Deal Finalized
Liverpool have agreed to a deal worth up to £123m for Paris St-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, according to BBC Sport. The initial fee is £106m, with £17m in potential add-ons. Barcola, 23, is expected to have a medical this weekend before signing a long-term contract at Anfield.
The deal includes a £4.3m solidarity payment to Lyon, as part of the terms of Barcola's move to PSG in 2023. Barcola has been pushing for the move for several weeks, and personal terms have already been agreed, according to French journalist François Plateau.
Player Profile
Barcola is a right-footed forward who prefers to play on the left wing but can also operate on the right or through the middle. He has won three Ligue 1 titles, two Champions Leagues, the French Cup twice, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup with PSG.
He scored three goals for France in this summer's World Cup and has registered 39 goals and 37 assists in 152 appearances for PSG. Barcola's move to Liverpool is seen as a significant boost to their attack, following the departures of Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in the past two summers.
Impact on Liverpool
The arrival of Barcola could increase doubts about Cody Gakpo's future at Liverpool. Both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have shown interest in the Netherlands forward, according to multiple sources. Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has said he 'cannot guarantee anything' about Gakpo's future, but hopes to keep him.
Liverpool are also in the market for a right-winger, having explored moves for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr. Barcola is expected to provide cover for Alexander Isak while Hugo Ekitike recovers from a serious Achilles injury.
