Source report
Hupu, August 7th — Liverpool are pushing hard to secure the transfer of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, with the club aiming to bring the French attacker to Anfield this summer.
After it became clear that Jan Diomandé, despite receiving an offer from the Reds, has chosen to entrust his future to another club, Barcola has quickly risen to the top of Liverpool's transfer list.
Key Points for Liverpool Fans
- Barcola has performed commendably at Paris Saint-Germain, but last season faced fierce competition for a regular starting spot due to the abundance of attacking talent under Luis Enrique.
- Paris boasts numerous top attackers, which limited Barcola's playing time.
- A move to Liverpool could offer him a more central and stable role, which would be a positive boost for his personal career development.
Transfer Progress
DaveOCKOP exclusively reported last week that Liverpool had submitted a formal offer for the French attacker. L'Équipe also revealed earlier this week that Barcola has "agreed on contract terms" with Liverpool, and the player himself is positive about the transfer. Currently, the only remaining step is for Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain to agree on the transfer fee.
Breakthrough in Negotiations
It is reported that a breakthrough has been made between the two European giants, with a principle agreement reached for the transfer of Bradley Barcola. It should be emphasized that:
- Only a principle agreement has been reached so far
- No official documents have been signed
- The deal is not yet finalized
The transfer fee is expected to be around €128 million, with the add-on clauses considered easier to achieve than previously proposed conditions, which has cleared some obstacles for the finalization of the deal.
Contract and Replacement Factors
- Barcola's current contract with Paris Saint-Germain has only two years remaining
- The player is not expected to sign a new deal with the club
- Paris Saint-Germain has announced the signing of Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco, meaning they have found a replacement on the wing
As a result, PSG are now more willing to let the French international go, paving the way for Barcola's move to Merseyside. With the two clubs close to agreeing on the transfer fee, the deal is expected to make substantial progress in the coming days.
