Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola has become complicated due to Paris Saint-Germain's high valuation, which exceeds Liverpool's budget. The club is reportedly ready to spend around €100 million, but PSG is demanding between £140 million and £145 million. With Barcola as their primary target, Liverpool has identified Rayan from Bournemouth as a viable backup option and has agreed on personal terms in principle.
