Reports linking Bradley Barcola with Liverpool will just not go away.
The Merseyside club's new head coach, Andoni Iraola, has made no secret of his desire to sign another winger this summer, despite securing the services of Victor Munoz. Barcola, 23, is one name being linked with the Reds after falling behind Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele in the pecking order at Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcola's opportunities may be further limited in the French capital if Yan Diomande, another player linked with Liverpool, completes a move from RB Leipzig to PSG. As such, speculation is rife over the France international's next club.
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool has recently contacted PSG about Barcola's availability. It's claimed that the forward could be allowed to leave Paris this summer to help balance the books.
Barcola, who wants regular first-team action, is said to be keen on joining Liverpool and is "ready to say yes" to the deal. Arsenal has also been linked with the Frenchman.
Barcola's future is expected to be resolved shortly. Despite France's loss to Spain on Tuesday, he still has one more World Cup game — the third-place match — to contend with on Saturday.

Despite struggling for minutes at PSG, Barcola is viewed as one of the best young forwards in European soccer. The two-time Champions League winner scored 13 goals and provided seven assists for PSG last season.
Exit inches closer
Inter Milan is not giving up on signing Curtis Jones.
The 25-year-old midfielder has just entered the final year of his contract, and Liverpool will not want to lose him on a free transfer after Trent Alexander-Arnold ran down his contract to force a move to Real Madrid this time last year. Ibrahima Konate has also just completed a free transfer to the Spanish club after his Reds deal expired.
Inter knows this. According to talkSPORT, the Italian team has seen offers of £21.6 million ($29 million) and £27 million ($36 million) rejected by Liverpool.
The Reds are believed to be holding out for £30 million ($40 million) for Jones. The fact that Inter seems to be getting closer to Liverpool's valuation would suggest a transfer is becoming increasingly likely.

It's no secret that Jones is curious about a move to Italy. Federico Chiesa, his Liverpool teammate, recently revealed: "Jones just asked me what life is like in Italy.
"I told him it's great and the weather is better than Liverpool, which, aside from that, is a special place.
"Jones is really strong technically. Inter are right to think about him."
