Bradley Barcola, the 23-year-old forward signed by Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 on a contract running until June 2028, is now on his way out. This had been the trend ever since he refused to extend his deal with PSG, and it is now all but a done deal, with a transfer to Liverpool imminent. According to numerous media outlets and journalists, the deal is finalized and the player has been cleared to travel for his medical examination.

Benjamin Quarez (Le Parisien):
The PSG/Liverpool deal for Bradley Barcola is worth €125m plus €20m in bonuses. The clubs still need to exchange documents, and the medical needs to be scheduled for this weekend. It is also a matter of hours for Ibrahim Mbaye’s move to Aston Villa: €55m, a 5-year contract, plus an option for an extra year.
Marc Mechenoua (Onze Mondial):
Bradley Barcola has been authorized to travel to Liverpool this Saturday. Full agreement reached with PSG on a package slightly under €124 million fixed plus €20 million in bonuses. Slightly higher than previously reported figures.
Julien Froment (France Info):
As reported by our colleagues at L’Equipe and RMC Sport, Bradley Barcola is set to sign a five-season deal with Liverpool for €145 million, including bonuses. PSG is making a massive financial gain—a record-breaking departure transfer for Ligue 1.
With these confirmations coming in quick succession, there is hardly any doubt left. It would take a massive surprise—such as an issue during the medical examination (a rare but not impossible occurrence)—to prevent the transfer from becoming official in the coming hours. The agreement took time to finalize, but the moment has finally arrived.
The player is embarking on a fantastic journey, securing a significant role at Liverpool—a major Premier League club that remains ambitious in the Champions League. It is up to him to give his all and rise to the occasion. For PSG, this sale—estimated at €140 million—is far from insignificant. It is an exceptional move, marking the biggest transfer of a Ligue 1 player to a foreign club in history.
