The challenge now is convincing PSG to lower their enormous valuation of the 23-year-old, with negotiations between the clubs continuing.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcola has now given Liverpool the final approval on personal terms. Liverpool and PSG are in direct, official negotiations, meaning the player’s side of the deal is no longer expected to cause any problems. Sky Sports reports that PSG value Barcola at around £145 million, with a significant gap still existing between the clubs. Liverpool have held preliminary discussions but have yet to satisfy the French champions financially.
Barcola has emerged as Liverpool’s leading target as they reshape their wide options following Mohamed Salah’s departure. New Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola is keen to get a new winger over the line after losing Mo Salah on a free transfer.
Arsenal are being backed to hijack Liverpool’s proposed move for PSG winger Bradley Barcola this summer, with a club legend revealing he has inside information on a potential £100million-plus swoop.
