Liverpool push for Bradley Barcola as new manager reshapes squad
Liverpool Football Club, now led by manager Andoni Iraola, are in the midst of a busy summer transfer window while on a pre‑season tour of the United States. The club have already won 4‑2 over Sunderland in Nashville and 1‑0 over Wrexham in New York. New signings Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet have joined the squad, but injuries to senior defenders – notably Joe Gomez’s hamstring – have left the back line thin.
The primary target is Paris Saint‑Germain winger Bradley Barcola. Liverpool have opened talks with PSG, which is demanding a fee of roughly £140‑£145 million. The Reds are aiming to negotiate a price nearer £100 million, a figure supported by a fan poll in which 96 % opposed the higher valuation. Jamie Carragher has warned that the club urgently needs a right‑wing replacement rather than another left‑side player like Barcola. In parallel, Liverpool are exploring a possible swap for AC Milan centre‑back Fikayo Tomori to address defensive depth after the departure of Ibrahima Konaté.
Overall, the club’s strategy under Iraola combines tactical adjustments – such as repositioning Florian Wirtz behind the striker – with a focused recruitment drive to replace departing stars Mohamed Salah and others and to strengthen both flanks and the centre‑back area.
