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, having failed to secure a regular starting spot for major matches, he is now aiming for a move to Liverpool. Journalist Ben Jacobs has confirmed the imminent transfer, with talks expected to conclude this evening on the sidelines of the 2026–2027 Champions League league phase draw.
More on Liverpool’s imminent Bradley Barcola signing.
Deal expected to be finalised in Monaco where Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Luis Campos are present ahead of the Champions League draw.
PSG paid €45m for Barcola and are set to sell him for almost €100m more.
PSG’s intent was always to get more than the Elliot Anderson (£116m) and Morgan Rogers (£117m) deals. As reported yesterday, the Yan Diomande fee (£120m) became the new yardstick after PSG lowered their £145m asking price.
Barcola has already agreed terms with Liverpool and is waiting for permission to formalise the move.”
Nothing is set in stone yet, as the move has not been made official. However, there is every hope that PSG and Liverpool will quickly wrap up the deal. Barcola is waiting, and with the transfer window closing on September 1st, there is no time to lose—especially given that the Reds are eagerly awaiting this attacking reinforcement. The Champions League draw offers a potential opportunity to make progress; at the very least, it gives the club executives a chance to meet in person.
