Liverpool pursue PSG winger Bradley Barcola as Salah replacement
Liverpool Football Club has identified Paris Saint‑Germain winger Bradley Barcola as its top priority to replace Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian forward left at the end of his contract. The club, under manager Andoni Iraola, has already reached personal terms with the 23‑year‑old French international on a contract that would run until the summer of 2032.
Reds officials are reportedly ready to submit a bid of more than €100 million for Barcola, despite PSG’s valuation of around €150‑170 million. A reported €120 million offer would be a record‑breaking sale for PSG and, if accepted, would secure Barcola as Liverpool’s marquee signing for the coming season. The player’s last campaign with PSG saw him record 13 goals and seven assists in 49 appearances.
While other targets have been mentioned, including the African winger and young PSG prospect Ibrahim Mbaye, Liverpool’s focus remains firmly on Barcola as the cornerstone of its attacking rebuild.
