Liverpool holds key discussions this Tuesday, August 25, 2026, with PSG to finalize the signing of Bradley Barcola, a 23-year-old winger. He is Andoni Iraola's major request to bolster the attack in the Premier League.

The British club aims to close the deal before the end of the summer transfer window for an amount near £100 million, while PSG demands £145 million for the transfer of the French international. Barcola has already stated his decision not to renew his current two-year remaining contract.

Economic differences between Liverpool and PSG regarding Bradley Barcola's signing

Liverpool's interest in Barcola was formalized in late July as a priority to replace Mohamed Salah after the 2025-26 season. The English team supports its £100 million offer based on the winger's firm stance not to extend his contract at Parc des Princes.

On the other hand, PSG values the player at £145 million citing his performance last season, where he scored 13 goals and provided 7 assists in 49 games. Barcola faced tough competition for a starting spot on the wings against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué, resulting in reduced playing time in the latter stages of the Champions League.

Bradley Barcola's career path and role in the market

Since joining Paris in August 2023 from Lyon—where he recorded 7 goals and 12 assists in 47 matches— Barcola has played 152 games, scoring 39 goals and providing 37 assists for PSG. In the 2026 World Cup held this summer in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, he featured in 8 matches for the French national team and netted 3 goals.

The 23-year-old winger's desire to join the Premier League project hastened negotiations between the clubs towards the end of the transfer window. Liverpool's hierarchy aims to adjust the financial terms to prevent the player from seeing out his remaining two-year contract in France.

Liverpool and PSG executives will hold another virtual meeting within the next 48 hours. In this meeting, the English club will present a revised proposal closer to PSG's demands in an attempt to unlock the operation and enable Barcola's medical examinations at Merseyside before the end of the transfer window.
