Liverpool eyes Bradley Barcola with hopes to negotiate lower price

Liverpool is reportedly pursuing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Journalist Fabrizio Romano notes that Barcola, valued at €170m (£145.4m) by PSG, remains the top target for the Reds. Liverpool has expressed intentions to engage in negotiations after preliminary talks were held. The club believes the price is inflated and is considering Barcola's desire to leave PSG as a negotiating factor. If an agreement is not reached this summer, Liverpool may find themselves in a better position should Barcola seek a transfer next summer.
