Liverpool is considering a move for winger Bradley Barcola, who joined Paris St-Germain from Lyon in 2023 for £38.5m. With Mohamed Salah leaving on a free transfer, Liverpool aims to bolster its attack. Barcola, known for his center-forward instincts, averaged 3.5 shots per 90 minutes and had a high expected goals tally, underscoring his ability to find scoring positions.

What they're saying

"
Liverpool have twice paid more than £100m for players - midfielder Florian Wirtz and striker Alexander Isak - and could be about to do so again. Bradley Barcola moved to Paris St-Germain from Lyon in 2023 for a reported £38.5m fee. With Mohamed Salah leaving on a free transfer at the end of last season, Liverpool clearly need to strengthen their attack.
