Bradley Barcola looks like he's heading to Liverpool

**Liverpool** have reached an outline agreement with Paris St Germain for **Bradley Barcola** worth up to £120million.

The Reds have been pursuing a deal for the 23-year-old France winger this summer and made a breakthrough in talks on Wednesday evening.

A guaranteed fee just over £100m has been agreed in principle along with add-ons that could take the package up to £120m, but there remains work to do to complete the deal as details are ironed out.

PSG had initially wanted in the region of £145m for Barcola, who spent the summer at the World Cup with France and scored three goals.

Barcola joined the perennial French champions from Lyon in 2023 for a reported 45million euros (£38.6m) and was part of their back-to-back Champions League triumphs.

Liverpool are working to improve their wide options before Tuesday's transfer deadline as a summer that saw club great Mohamed Salah depart comes to a close.

The Anfield outfit have explored a move for Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr and last week saw two bids rejected by Brighton for Yankuba Minteh, with the second offer worth £60m.

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola is set to speak to the media on Thursday at the press conference previewing Saturday lunchtime’s Anfield encounter against Nottingham Forest.

**Sunderland** have made an offer to sign to Manchester City winger **Jack Grealish**, according to the Athletic.

The Black Cats want to take Grealish on loan, with City covering part of his eye-watering salary.
