Jamie Carragher expressed doubts about Liverpool's reported interest in Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, suggesting the club's priority should be finding a replacement for Mohamed Salah. Liverpool is reportedly preparing an offer for Barcola, valued at £128.5m, but Carragher noted that they already have sufficient left-wing options in Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha, and Victor Munoz. He emphasized that the right wing lacks depth after Salah's departure. Carragher also raised concerns that signing Barcola could hinder the development of young talents like Ngumoha. Liverpool's focus may shift to securing a suitable right winger this summer to enhance their squad balance.
