Liverpool has expressed their interest in Barcola since May. The Premier League giant is expected to make a move for the PSG winger before the Premier League resumes in August. Barcola had a good season with PSG, helping the Parisians win the Champions League.
Barcola’s stock has risen as he had a good World Cup in the States, scoring two goals in the tournament. The French winger is not expected to sign a new contract at PSG as he has refused to sign a new deal since April.
On the other hand, Liverpool needs to sign a winger as they have lost Salah, who has left the club after his formidable career at the club. Liverpool is in a desperate situation, and they need a winger to fill the gap. The speed of Barcola can strengthen the attacking and pressing football that Iraola wants to play.
According to sources, Barcola has been valued at €170 million by PSG, and it looks like PSG does not want one of their star players going to one of their competitors in Europe. Liverpool will need to pay the valuation, as they have lost Yan Diomande to Real Madrid, who has signed for Real Madrid.
