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. This Friday evening, PSG Inside Actus provides an update on the situation, focusing on Liverpool’s interest.
“The Reds have received permission from Paris Saint-Germain to speak with the player.”
“As things stand, Liverpool has not yet submitted an official offer to PSG for Bradley Barcola.
The Reds have obtained permission from Paris Saint-Germain to speak with the player, but no official negotiations between the two clubs have begun yet.
Liverpool is reportedly preparing an offer estimated at around €110 million, whereas PSG values the winger at approximately €170 million.
We are still waiting for concrete details to gain certainty—especially given how much this story has been discussed and the varying elements involved. However, the general picture is clear: a transfer is a possibility, given his refusal to extend his contract and Liverpool’s interest. That said, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that other clubs could enter the race, and PSG is under no obligation to sell immediately.
A strong offer is required, as is an assessment of the player’s mindset; he might not be unhappy if he stays. We have also seen players change their minds about extending contracts in the past. Nothing is set in stone yet; Paris certainly won’t just offload the French international cheaply. There is also likely a desire to have a replacement lined up before letting Barcola go. There is still time left in the transfer window (which closes on September 1), so this saga could drag on.”
