Bradley Barcola, the 23-year-old forward signed by Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 on a contract running until June 2028, has established himself at both PSG and the French national team. However, he remains something of a substitute for big matches, a situation that—according to numerous media outlets—has led him to refuse a contract extension. Consequently, a departure during this transfer window is being considered. According to L’Équipe, Liverpool remains interested but is waiting until the end of the window to step up their pursuit.
“Liverpool has decided to bide its time in recent days, while planning to make a renewed push during the final ten days of the transfer window.”
It is certainly possible, though caution remains necessary until there is something concrete. For the moment, the Barcola situation has generated plenty of rumors but no tangible developments. A move to Liverpool remains a possibility; the challenge lies in reaching an agreement between the clubs.
PSG’s asking price is reportedly too high at the moment—exceeding €150 million—whereas the English club has allegedly offered only €115 million. This is a significant gap that will require some movement. As the window draws to a close, Liverpool can hope that the compromise might come from the Paris side.
There is likely some pressure involved if the player wants to leave, as it could disrupt the squad’s atmosphere. If PSG is left with no other options, the price might drop. This also allows time to secure a replacement, which is a reassuring factor when considering a sale. However, nothing is certain. Paris won’t be handing out any bargains, and we are still waiting for something concrete to materialize.
