Liverpool target PSG’s Barcola after Wirtz transfer

Liverpool is preparing to make a bold move for PSG forward Bradley Barcola according to Sun Sport, even after securing a record-breaking £127 million deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

The Premier League champions intend to bolster their attacking options significantly this summer, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining their dominance. Despite Wirtz’s arrival, Liverpool is determined to add another top-tier winger to their squad, with Barcola emerging as a prime target.

The Reds are ready to challenge Bayern Munich for Barcola, who is valued at around £100 million. The 22-year-old winger has caught the attention of several European giants, but Liverpool’s interest remains strong.

Additionally, the club is still hopeful of signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle, aiming to have the prolific 23-goal scorer lead their frontline. However, if Newcastle insists on a fee of approximately £150 million for the 25-year-old Swede, Liverpool may decide to pursue alternative options.

Barcola’s emergence as a target comes amid doubts over his future at PSG, where he is no longer part of the club’s first-choice attacking trio. The French club’s Champions League success has seen Barcola fall down the pecking order, making him available for a move.

Liverpool’s interest is further fueled by their recent investments, including £29.5 million spent on Jeremie Frimpong and an additional £40 million-plus earmarked for Bournemouth’s young left-back Milos Kerkez.

The prospect of pairing Barcola with Wirtz and legendary forward Mo Salah excites Liverpool fans, as it promises a dynamic and formidable attacking line.

Barcola’s potential move to Anfield would also satisfy Bayern Munich, who are keen to sign him as their No. 1 target. The transfer saga highlights Liverpool’s aggressive pursuit of top talent this summer, aiming to reinforce their squad ahead of another competitive season.
