French media L'Équipe reports that Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola has verbally agreed to join Liverpool after contacting manager Andoni Iraola and club executives. The 23-year-old French winger, who does not intend to renew his contract with PSG (running until 2028), hopes to facilitate a transfer to the Premier League. However, while PSG is open to his departure, they remain firm on their financial demands, and the gap between the two clubs' valuations is still wide. No formal contract agreement has been reached between Barcola and Liverpool, contrary to some Italian media reports. The outcome depends on whether the player's verbal agreement can push negotiations toward substantial progress.
