Bradley Barcola, the 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward under contract until 2028, remains on Liverpool’s radar. However, the situation remains unclear. According to the latest information from Djamel and journalist Abdellah Boulma, it is uncertain whether the Reds have actually made an offer, though PSG’s asking price is certainly high.
Djamel: “PSG is still demanding €160–170m, a figure the Reds consider too high.”
“Regarding the Bradley Barcola situation: PSG is still demanding €160–170m, a figure the Reds consider too high. Contrary to recent rumors, the English club did submit an initial offer (verbally); it was immediately rejected by Paris because it was deemed financially too far off the mark regarding their demands. Negotiations are ongoing.”
Abdellah Boulma: “Discussions are ongoing. Meanwhile, PSG is preparing a new push for Mika Godts.”
“Liverpool has still not submitted an official offer for Bradley Barcola. A significant gap remains between the Reds’ intentions and PSG’s demands (over €150m). Discussions are ongoing. Meanwhile, PSG is preparing a news push for Mika Godts. Both sides are hoping for a positive outcome.”
Negotiations regarding these matters are always lengthy, especially since PSG does not wish to sell its forward, having already proposed a contract extension—which has been turned down for the time being. The door isn’t closed, but that doesn’t mean the Parisian leadership will make any concessions. Naturally, the Reds will need to submit a very high offer to convince the capital club to release the French international, who is coming off a strong World Cup performance.
PSG also needs to ensure its squad remains deep enough to cope with his departure. Given these various factors, it makes sense for these discussions and negotiations to take time. It remains to be seen, however, whether the Parisian management will stand firm or if the English side will manage to find an opening.
For now, the main priority is seeing something concrete. Recent hours have seen rumors of an offer followed by denials—a reminder of the need for caution during the transfer window.
