Liverpool adds Bradley Barcola and Ronald Araujo in 2026 transfer window
Summary

Liverpool concluded its 2026 summer transfer window with the signing of French winger Bradley Barcola for £125 million and the addition of defender Ronald Araujo. Despite these acquisitions, the squad faces concerns regarding balance, as the club remains without a primary right-winger and lacks depth at the fullback position. Head coach Andoni Iraola expressed a desire for additional signings that were ultimately not completed before the window closed. The departure of Curtis Jones also left the midfield department with limited options. While the club successfully secured their target for the forward line, questions remain regarding how these personnel changes will impact the team’s performance in the Champions League this season.
