Liverpool are reportedly showing renewed interest in Bradley Barcola, with developments suggesting the Paris Saint-Germain winger could become available in the summer window.
Liverpool’s Interest in Barcola Revived
Liverpool had previously explored a move for Barcola in March, along with Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. PSG rejected those approaches at the time.
While deals for Doue and Kvaratskhelia remain highly unlikely, the situation surrounding Barcola is now less clear-cut. Barcola’s representatives have started exploring potential opportunities for the former Lyon star.
Barcola’s Situation at PSG
Despite playing a role under Luis Enrique, Barcola is reportedly finding himself on the periphery of PSG’s preferred attacking setup. With Ousmane Dembele potentially leading the line with Doue alongside Kvaratskhelia, Barcola risks becoming the odd man out.
PSG publicly maintain that the 23-year-old remains a key part of their plans. However, sources indicate that Barcola is keen to assess his options after changing agency towards the end of last year.
PSG would also like to open talks with the player, who has just over two years left on his current deal.
Competition for Barcola’s Signature
Any softening in PSG’s stance would alert a number of elite clubs. Liverpool are among those most attentive, targeting potentially two new wide attackers this summer.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have all been made aware of Barcola’s evolving situation. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring developments, while the Saudi Pro League is keeping a watching brief.
Liverpool are accelerating their pursuit of a Mo Salah successor and have identified the PSG star as a top target, giving them two brilliant options.
No formal move has been made, but with Barcola’s camp exploring possibilities and PSG’s attacking depth creating uncertainty, this is a situation that could quickly accelerate as the summer window approaches.
