Liverpool have reportedly been given the green light from Bradley Barcola on personal terms as a deal with PSG begins to progress.
The Reds have exactly three weeks to complete all their 2026 summer transfer work before the Premier League deadline on 1 September at 11 pm, but they are yet to complete their most important piece of business.
Talks with PSG have rumbled on for weeks now, with news that Arsenal made overtures to Barcola’s agents causing concern last week, however, it would appear that Liverpool are still in the driving seat to secure Barcola’s signature.
Indeed, Fabrizio Romano’s latest update suggests that the Merseysiders have secured an agreement with the French winger over personal terms.
Liverpool reach personal terms agreement with Barcola as official talks with PSG proceed
According to the Italian journalist, Liverpool have now secured an agreement with Barcola over personal terms for his move to Anfield, with the final hurdle being an agreement with PSG over a transfer fee. The Ligue 1 outfit is still demanding a £145m (€169m) fee for Barcola.
Reporting on X initially, Romano said: “Liverpool have the final green light from Bradley Barcola on personal terms. The negotiations with PSG over the fee continue as clubs are in direct, official conversation. Up to LFC as PSG valuation remains high.”

Romano then spoke at length on his YouTube channel about the finer details
He said on YouTube: “On Bradley Barcola, my understanding is that Liverpool remain in active talks in daily talks with Paris Saint-Germain.
“So, the conversations are ongoing.
“Then financially there is still no agreement, so we need to be patient, but personal terms, not an issue at all, and Liverpool remain in active talks with Paris Saint-Germain for Bradley Barcola.
“Liverpool know that they need to improve their opening conversations, indicated proposal, because from my information, Liverpool didn’t send an official bid to Paris Saint-Germain.
“There were reports of Liverpool sending an official bid and then telling PSG they don’t have the money – I am told that this is not the case.
“Liverpool started official club-to-club talks.
“They indicated some numbers, still far away from what Paris Saint-Germain want.
“This is from the start of last week, so some time ago.
“Now Liverpool remain in conversations with PSG.
“Obviously, if PSG can land Ferran Torres after Akliouche and eventually also Mika Godts, obviously, it’s going to be a lot of strikers, and so this could facilitate the move of Bradley Barcola to Liverpool.”
