Bradley Barcola is catching attention this summer, with Liverpool reportedly interested in the rising star of PSG. A report on Wednesday suggested a transfer might happen—but only if two big conditionsare met. Either way, PSG seems determined to keeptheir young talent.
With such a stacked and competitive squad, it’s understandable that some players want more playing time elsewhere. Barcola has found it tough to break through, playing behind talents like Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which has sparked transfer talk.
RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins says two things have to happen for Barcola to leave PSG: the player needs to want out, and the club has to get an offer over €100 million. So far, neither has happened, even with interest from Liverpool and others.

Amid the rumors involving Barcola, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared the latest on PSG’s plan for the Frenchman.
“PSG has planneda very large contract offer for the end of the transfer window,” Romano said (h/tLe10Sport). “PSG is ready to present him witha very big contract to stay.”
On Friday,Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sport Germany shared that Liverpoolare keeping a close eye on Barcola’s situation. So far, though, there haven’t been any offers or serious talks with the player’s representatives.
Liverpool’s top priority is still Alexander Isak. But if that deal doesn’t happen, the club is said to have enough funds to go after a big-name winger like Barcola.
Meanwhile, PSGseem pretty relaxed andhave made it clear that Barcola isn’t for sale. Inside the club, they see the rumors as a possible distraction connected to Liverpool’s reported interest in Isak.
