Liverpool are reportedly in the process of preparing an £86.7m offer for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, in an exciting new transfer update.
The Reds need to focus on signing a new wide man in 2026 – preferably one who is versatile enough to impress on both flanks, in terms of improving the squad depth for Arne Slot.
Mohamed Salah’s very best days look to be behind him, while Cody Gakpo is a divisive figure who isn’t a world-class option for Liverpool. Meanwhile, it is too soon to expect miracles from Rio Ngumoha, considering he is still such a young player learning his trade at Anfield.
According to a report from Spain, Liverpool are now finalising an £86.7m offer for PSG ace Barcola, seeing him as a top-quality target to bring in.
It is claimed that his current club aren’t completely against the idea of selling him, even though he is a key figure who helped them win the Champions League last season.
Barcola AND Enrique to Liverpool in 2026?
Barcola is a special talent, having been described as someone who is “developing into one of the best wingers in the world” by analyst Ben Mattinson, and being lauded by PSG manager Luis Enrique:
“It is a clear bet from the club when we go out and find such a young player, a youth international, with a big personality and the quality to burst out. He has quite a few minutes for being in a team like ours. He incarnates the present and the future. On Saturday evening, he was superb, the most decisive player in one-on-one situations and he scored an exceptional goal too.”
The 23-year-old Barcola could be a fantastic option for Liverpool, possessing so much pace and trickery out wide, bagging 64 goal contributions in 125 appearances for PSG, and being capable of excelling all across the attack, but primarily from the left.
In fact, there is even a possibility that he could join Enrique at Anfield this summer, amid doubts over Slot’s future and the fact that the PSG boss has confirmed he will leave the Ligue 1 giants at the end of the season, and could potentially like the idea of managing in the Premier League.
