Liverpool Negotiates for PSG's Bradley Barcola

Liverpool are locked in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal for Bradley Barcola, with the French winger’s future at the European champions hanging in the balance.

Talks between the clubs are described as ongoing on a daily basis, as Liverpool push to bring the 23-year-old to Anfield this summer. On the player’s side, there is no battle to be fought: personal terms are not expected to be a problem, with the former Lyon forward keen on making the move to the Premier League.

The situation took another twist on Wednesday night. Barcola travelled and made the squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa, but never left the bench as PSG edged a 2-1 win. For a player of his age and profile, sitting out a showpiece final only sharpened the sense that something is shifting behind the scenes.

PSG soften stance as talks continue

Inside the club, Barcola is no longer seen as completely off limits. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi stopped short of closing the door when asked about the France international’s future, choosing his words carefully in an interview with Canal+.

“We will see in the next days. We are discussing, we are negotiating,” he said, underlining that conversations are active and that a departure is firmly on the table.

That line matters. It signals a clear change from the “untouchable” label that often surrounds PSG’s brightest talents. Barcola is now in play — but only at the right price.

For Liverpool, the path is open but not clear. The player wants the move, PSG are prepared to talk, yet the hardest part remains: striking a financial agreement with a club that rarely sells on the cheap.

The next few days will tell whether Anfield’s interest turns into a marquee signing or just another near-miss in a volatile summer market.
