Liverpool transfer update: Barcola arrives, Gakpo stays

Overview

Negotiations for PSG winger Bradley Barcola have concluded with Liverpool completing his signing for £123 million. Head coach Andoni Iraola described Barcola as a “priority signing,” noting his versatility to play on both the left and right flanks.

Meanwhile, the potential transfer of Cody Gakpo to Manchester City has collapsed. Despite reports of a personal agreement and a £85 million offer, the move fell through on transfer deadline day after Liverpool declined the bid because they had not yet secured a replacement. Iraola confirmed he maintained an “honest relationship” with Gakpo throughout the process, emphasizing that the player remains a valuable asset in a strong physical and mental state.

Following these moves, Gakpo is expected to provide tactical flexibility for the new season. While Barcola is anticipated to occupy the left-wing position, Gakpo’s ability to play centrally, on the left, or on the right is seen as essential, particularly as the club has not signed a dedicated right-winger. Gakpo has already begun contributing goals and is considered a vital presence in the dressing room.

Other summer pursuits included the milestone of 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye reaching personal terms on a five-year contract, though club-to-club negotiations remained ongoing. The club also explored options for Yankuba Minteh, Ismaila Sarr, and Lamine Camara during the window.
