Liverpool has turned its attention to Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who departed at the end of last season. The club is preparing an opening bid for the young winger, currently valued at approximately £145 million. While Barcola is recognized for his talent, Jamie Carragher has raised concerns about squad balance, noting Liverpool’s existing strength on the left side. Carragher emphasized the need for a right winger, calling into question Barcola's fit within the current strategy. The situation is complicated further by the development of Rio Ngumoha, a younger player Liverpool has been nurturing. The club's approach to replacing Salah may pivot on a broader redesign of their attacking strategy.
