Liverpool dismiss reports they submitted €115m bid for PSG forward Bradley Barcola

Liverpool dismiss reports they submitted €115m bid for PSG forward Bradley Barcola Liverpool are pursuing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola.  Reports in France claimed the Premier League club submitted a €115 million bid for the 23-year-old.  But The Athletic’s James Pearce says the senior club sources have dismissed those claims.  They insist such an offer would have been pointless, with PSG demanding a huge €170m for their prized asset.  If the Ligue 1 giants remain adamant on their price tag, Liverpool may turn their attention to alternative targets.  Mohamed Salah’s departure has left a significant void in the Reds’ attack.  While finding a like-for-like replacement for the Egyptian is difficult, the Merseyside club are looking to bring in someone who can add pace, creativity and goals.  Barcola has emerged as one of the best young forwards since joining PSG from Lyon in 2023.  He has made 152 appearances across all competitions, bagging 39 goals and 37 assists in the process.  Barcola can play across the frontline and is highly rated for his blistering pace, ball-carrying ability and dribbling skills.  He is young and has proven himself at the top level of football.  Encouragingly for Liverpool, the Frenchman is believed to favour a move to Anfield.  But agreeing a deal with PSG is proving difficult, as they are demanding a €170m fee.  The forward’s contract at the Parc des Princes will expire in 2028, and he has made it clear he won’t sign a new deal.  Stats from Transfermarkt
