Liverpool has launched a fresh approach for Bradley Barcola, according to reports in France.
It's also believed that Barcola, 23, is open to leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The forward has caught the Reds' attention as they look to bolster their attacking options this summer. The exit of Mohamed Salah and a long-term injury to Hugo Ekitike have created gaps in Liverpool's forward line heading into the 2026/27 season.
Cody Gakpo has also been linked with a potential departure following the dismissal of Arne Slot, who has been succeeded by Andoni Iraola. Liverpool has already secured Victor Munoz and tabled a substantial offer for fellow winger Yan Diomande, which was promptly turned down by RB Leipzig.
However, Barcola remains firmly on the club's radar.
French publication Le10 Sport reports that Liverpool has made a renewed bid to sign the France international, who scored in his country's World Cup opener last week.
Barcola is said to be attracted to a move to Anfield, having been impressed by Liverpool's vision and enthused by the prospect of competing in the Premier League.

Regarding PSG, the French team is prepared to approve the 23-year-old's exit if he requests a move. It's also noted that PSG has identified several potential replacements.
Arsenal has likewise been linked with Barcola, who joined PSG from Lyon three years ago.
Luis Enrique's side would undoubtedly aim to make a profit on the forward, who has netted 39 goals and registered 35 assists in 152 appearances for PSG.
Barcola found the net at the World Cup late in France's 3-1 triumph over Senegal, despite being on the pitch for merely two minutes. He subsequently started Monday's rain-drenched 3-0 victory against Iraq.
Barcola has remained guarded about his future, though Enrique has made his intentions clear regarding keeping him.

"I have no doubt he'll remain our player," the PSG manager said last season.
"We like the fact that our players are interesting to other clubs. But he's one of those young players we've been banking on.
"I expect him to play here for many more years."
