Liverpool focused on Bradley Barcola amid PSG's Akliouche negotiations

Liverpool's interest in Bradley Barcola intensifies as PSG nears a deal for Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco. PSG is reportedly in the final stages of agreeing to terms for Akliouche, who is valued higher than Barcola but has played fewer minutes. This dynamic may influence negotiations for Barcola's transfer, as Liverpool aims to counter PSG's valuation of £145m for the young talent. Liverpool remains staunch against meeting this price, especially given Akliouche's imminent arrival at PSG, which strengthens their negotiating position.
