Bradley Barcola wants to join Liverpool this summer and personal terms are almost in place, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Reds have added to their attack ahead of the 2026/27 season with the addition of Victor Munoz from Osasuna, but fans are hoping for a statement signing in what remains of the window.
Liverpool go into the new term without Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian departed Anfield on a free transfer before signing for Turkish side Trabzonspor this month.
Andoni Iraola's team do need to bring in a long-term replacement for the club legend and Barcola could potentially be the man to fill his boots with a Paris Saint-Germain exit a real possibility.
Clubs interested in the French international will have to stump up the money as the Champions League holders value their attacker around the £145m mark.
After finding himself in and out of the team last season, Barcola was an unused substitute for Wednesday evening's 2-1 triumph over Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup final.
The 23-year-old did look disinterested during the post-match celebrations, with transfer expert Romano pointing out on his YouTube channel today that Barcola's face very much speaks for itself with so much talking surrounding a move to Liverpool.
"If you look at Bradley Barcola, probably the story of the night in terms of transfers, is about the French winger because Barcola was not playing one single minute for Paris Saint-Germain," said Romano when speaking on his YouTube channel. "And also if you look at Barcola's face, it looks very clear that the player is probably thinking about leaving the club.
"It doesn't mean that Barcola, eventually, if he will end up staying at Paris Saint Germain, I'm sure he's going to be a super professional as always. But, as of today, while there is the chance to go to Liverpool, Bradley Barcola face is speaking for himself.
"The body language of Bradley Barcola looks very clear. Barcola was almost not even celebrating. Barcola wants to go to Liverpool, I told you several times. The personal terms are almost in place, it's not a problem."

Barcola's future is a big talking point at present given all the speculation surrounding his future.
Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi was asked about his player when speaking following the French side's win over Aston Villa in the Super Cup.
However, he couldn't give a definitive answer over Barcola's future.
"We're working calmly, we don't talk too much," Al-Khelaifi told Canal Plus. "I can't say whether he will leave or not ... Today, he is a PSG player. We'll see."
