Fabrizio Romano confirms PSG transfer plans for forward tipped to join Liverpool
Liverpool linked with Barcola In recent days it's been suggested that Liverpool could go into the market for Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola. The 22-year-old won a treble under Luis Enrique last season - with the crowing glory being the Champions League. Advertisement But the French international has been suggested as a potential departure for PSG this summer with Foot Mercato naming Liverpool and Bayern Munich among the candidates to sign him. Although he made 27 starts in Ligue 1 last season - and 14 more in the Champions League - he was slightly in the shadow of other forward options like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue. "Nothing imminent" for Barcola says Fabrizio Romano Under contract until 2028, the Lyon academy graduate has been tipped to move elsewhere. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now weighed in on the future of Barcola, claiming in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter that Luis Enrique has got him in his plans for the FIFA Club World Cup and beyond. Advertisement 'There is nothing imminent or concrete yet for Barcola,' he wrote. 'From what I heard, PSG are counting on him for next season.' Barcola arrived in 2023 from Lyon for around €45m and has gone on to establish himself as one of the best wide attackers in the world. Last season he scored 21 goals and added 19 assists in total for PSG - who enjoyed their most successful campaign in history.

Liverpool ready to make £100m PSG star their next signing: report

Florian Wirtz may not be the only £100m man heading to Anfield. | Credit: Getty Images Liverpool have just agreed a £116.5m deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, and already they're eyeing up another £100m man. Advertisement The Wirtz move has been the story of the summer so far, with Liverpool reportedly agreeing on Friday morning to a new record Premier League fee. The Reds have already concluded a £29.5m deal for Jeremie Frimpong from the same Bundesliga outfit, but they aren't done there. Liverpool add £100m Paris Saint-Germain attacker to their shopping list Arne Slot has certainly earned this spending, clinching the Premier League title while barely spending a penny last summer | Credit:With Wirtz, Frimpong and a move for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez mooted to cost around £40m, Liverpool are already fast approaching the £200m mark in their summer spending. Adding another £100m to their outgoings doesn't seem feasible, but the Merseysiders have already sold Caoimhin Kelleher in a deal worth up to £18m, and may yet be open to sales for all of Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott, Kostas Tsimikas and Darwin Nunez, to name just a few. Back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, plus a £10m early-release fee for Trent Alexander-Arnold, have been Liverpool's only outgoings this summer | Credit: Getty Images According to the Sun, Liverpool are ready to open their wallet back up for highly-rated PSG winger Bradley Barcola, ranked at no.5 in FourFourTwo's list of the best left wingers in the world right now. Advertisement It's thought that the 22-year-old would cost north of £100m, which, if progressed, could see the Reds footing a £300m bill in total this transfer window. The young Frenchman is also Bayern Munich's primary target, but that was also the case with Wirtz, who has ended up at Anfield. Barcola was once thought to be one of PSG's brightest talents, but has slipped down the pecking order in the French capital on account of the emergence of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue. Bradley Barcola may need a move away from PSG to continue progressing | Credit: Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty Images In FourFourTwo's opinion, there's surely no way Liverpool spend two lots of £100m+ in one window, is there? If they do, have no doubt that clubs like Newcastle United, who seem to be in a perennial battle with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) despite their wealthy owners, will have plenty of thoughts about it. But it's tough to deny that an attacking unit containing Wirtz, Barcola and Mohamed Salah would be an exciting watch next season. Barcola is valued at €70m, according to Transfermarkt.

Bradley Barcola and PSG respond to Liverpool interest in £100m transfer
Bradley Barcola is not interested in a move to Liverpool this summer with Paris Saint-Germain adamant he is not for sale. The 22-year-old enjoyed a sensational campaign in the French capital, helping the club finally clinch the Champions League with a wonderful return of 21 goals and 19 assists during the 2024-25 campaign. With PSG boasting perhaps the most exciting forward line in European football, Barcola was competing with Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for a starting berth with one of that quartet usually left on the bench. Barcola was the unlucky man in the Champions League final against Inter earlier this month, still coming off the bench to grab an assist. While there has been no indication he is unhappy with the situation in Paris, reports have claimed Liverpool will look to tempt him to Merseyside in a £100million deal once they have wrapped up a deal for Florian Wirtz.

The France international is also on Bayern Munich's radar with the German champions eager to freshen up their wide options. Both clubs are set to be disappointed, however. Foot Mercato report PSG have ruled out any possibility of Barcola leaving the club this summer with the youngster considered integral to the team by head coach Luis Enrique. Barcola is also eager to remain at PSG with both parties 'sharing the desire to continue the adventure together'. While Liverpool are making a sizeable investment in bringing Wirtz to the club for what will be a record Premier League fee, their summer transfer window is unlikely to end there. More Trending Another attacking option is being considered with Luis Diaz also thought to be eager to leave to join Barcelona. Liverpool are keen on an ambitious move for Newcastle United star Alexander Isak, who Newcastle United value at over £150million. Arsenal have already thrown in the towel in their pursuit of the Swede with that price tag surely placing him out of Liverpool's reach too. Darwin Nunez is available for transfer and expected to leave, while Liverpool will also consider bids for Diogo Jota.
