Bradley Barcola transfer talks between Liverpool and PSG intensify
Liverpool have opened formal club‑to‑club negotiations with Paris Saint‑Germain for winger Bradley Barcola. The Merseyside club reportedly made an initial €100 million (€85 million‑£) offer, which PSG rejected, indicating they expect a fee in the region of £140‑£150 million.
In parallel, Liverpool are also pursuing PSG’s 18‑year‑old Senegalese winger Ibrahim Mbaye, with the French club asking for at least €40 million.
Other potential targets mentioned include Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh, Lille’s Matias Fernandez‑Pardo and Bournemouth’s Rayan, whose release clause could rise to £85 million next summer.
Liverpool have also been linked with a possible deal for PSG defender Illia Zabarnyi, but the primary focus remains on securing Barcola and Mbaye as part of the club’s summer rebuilding plan.
