According to a report by David Ornstein of The Athletic, Liverpool have secured an agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain for the acquisition of attacker Bradley Barcola.
Negotiators from both teams settled on terms during the night for a deal valued at over €135m (£116m), though crucial final elements are still being finalized on Thursday morning. No official contracts have been signed yet, meaning the move is not yet finalized.
Should all the stipulations be fulfilled, this agreement will rank as the most expensive transfer of the 2026 summer market, highlighting the Reds’ determination to strengthen their frontline with another elite threat.
The French international, 23, has remained a primary focus for Liverpool all summer, having developed into a vital figure for the Parisian club after transferring from Lyon back in 2023.
This potential transfer may also affect the future of Cody Gakpo, who has frequently drawn attention from Tottenham Hotspur and is also on Manchester City’s radar during this transfer window.
An official announcement has not yet been made by Liverpool, as the last remaining points of the contract must be settled before Barcola’s transition to Anfield is finalized.
