Liverpool Raises Offer to €135 Million for PSG's Bradley Barcola After Omission from Lens Squad

Liverpool have stepped up their efforts to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain by submitting an improved offer of €135 million. The French winger was notably left out of PSG’s squad for their recent match against Lens, signaling a shift in the transfer talks.

Details of the Improved Offer

The latest bid comes after Liverpool previously made offers just over €100 million. According to Foot01, PSG manager Luis Enrique left Barcola out of the matchday lineup, hinting that the club is reconsidering their stance on the player’s future. Barcola, formerly with Lyon, has expressed a strong desire to join Liverpool during this transfer window.

PSG Reevaluates Barcola's Price

PSG initially valued Barcola close to €150 million but are now open to accepting a lower fee. The arrival of Amazon’s boss as part of Liverpool’s ownership might have encouraged the club to boost their offer. PSG executives are now seriously reviewing Liverpool’s €135 million proposal, aiming to avoid a drawn-out saga like the one experienced with Kylian Mbappe’s exit.

Arsenal Interest Unlikely

Despite rumors linking Barcola to Arsenal, recent reports suggest that a move to the Emirates Stadium is improbable. Although Arsenal is interested, no formal discussions between clubs have taken place. Advanced talks between Liverpool and PSG make a transfer to Arsenal unlikely at this point.

Negotiations Near Completion

Both clubs seem close to reaching an agreement. PSG wants to find a solution that ensures a smooth transfer for a player who has maintained professionalism throughout his time at the club. Liverpool is expected to finalize the deal soon, potentially concluding one of the summer’s most notable transfer stories.
