Romano reports: “At any moment could be the moment for the here we go because the two clubs are in direct conversations.
“If PSG decide to accept what Liverpool are offering, at any moment it could be the green light, medical test and contract signing.
“But don’t forget that Barcola plus one in could mean Cody Gakpo out. This is the way.”
It’s taken a long time, but Barcola will be a sensation in the Premier League
His stats over the last few seasons make for thrilling reading.
Last season, his numbers dipped a little bit, scoring 13 goals and assisting 7 after 21 goals and 21 assists in 2024/25. The season before that, Barcola had five goals and nine assists at the age of 20. His development is clear to see.
At Liverpool, under a manager as attacking as Iraola, he will be sensational to watch.
Fortunately, Barcola is as good in transition as he is against a low block, which will help in games where counter-attacking isn’t possible.
