Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are currently engaged in crucial discussions to finalize their positions on the transfer fee for Bradley Barcola, according to David Ornstein. The French international is known to be a primary transfer target for the Merseyside club, and the player himself is keen to continue his career at Anfield. The two clubs have been in communication for some time, but PSG initially demanded £145 million for the winger, while Liverpool was prepared to offer around £100 million.
However, reports in recent days suggest that the Parisian club has lowered its demands, bringing the clubs closer to an agreement. An official offer from Liverpool is now anticipated at any moment, likely following today's talks, which Ornstein describes as "crucial."
Expectations are that PSG and Liverpool will meet somewhere in the middle, potentially sealing a deal worth approximately £120 million.
Barcola featured in 49 matches for the French side last season, contributing 13 goals and seven assists, playing a vital role in their Ligue 1 title defense and Champions League campaign. He primarily operates on the left wing but can also play on the opposite flank, making him a particularly valuable asset for Liverpool, who are reportedly aiming to sign two wingers before the summer transfer window closes.
