Bradley Barcola new signing of Liverpool at AXA Training Centre on August 30, 2026 in Kirkby, England.
Bradley Barcola has signed for Liverpool after a lengthy transfer saga
Liverpool have announced the signing of Bradley Barcola from PSG after agreeing a £123m fee with the Parisian giants.
Barcola, 23, had his Anfield medical over the weekend after Liverpool and PSG agreed on a deal that would see him move from Paris for an initial £106m with £17m in potential add-ons. Breaking his silence after the saga, Barcola said in his announcement video: "It's beautiful here.
"Anfield is iconic. A football giant. A historic club. The noise. The colours. The people. I felt it as an opponent. And now I am one of you. My new home. Allez les Rouges."

Barcola, who will wear the No.29 shirt, added to their in-house media: "It's a great pride to be able to play for Liverpool. I'm very happy.
"It took a long time but I'm really happy today to be able to play for Liverpool and all I want is to be on the pitch and be able to play.
"I hope to achieve very big things. First of all, winning the Premier League - it's one of my biggest dreams in my life. It is to do that and to stay in this team in the long term - that's why I signed a long contract - and I hope I can do it."

He continued: "I had the chance to play twice in this stadium and I saw the atmosphere and how the fans were behind the Liverpool players.
"When I knew about Liverpool's interest in me, I didn't ask questions and I knew it was a very big club for me."
Barcola first made a name for himself at Lyon, in his native France, before he moved to PSG in 2023. In that three-year period, Barcola made 152 appearances, scored 39 goals and delivered 35 assists.
However, he has found himself pushed down the pecking order this summer, behind Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, leading to his exit.
He's also showed his talents off on the international stage - netting three goals at this summer's World Cup as France were knocked out in the semi-finals by eventual winners Spain.
Liverpool will be hoping Barcola can kick start their slow start to the season - with the Reds drawing their opening games with Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
