Liverpool set for decisive Bradley Barcola push after Florian Plettenberg update | OneFootball

Liverpool are set to do everything they can to sign PSG star Bradley Barcola before the end of the summer transfer window, according to prominent Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The Reds have identified the 23-year-old French international winger as a marquee priority to revitalise their frontline ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.

Plettenberg broke the late-night transfer update on X, revealing that the Reds’ hierarchy is preparing to make a decisive push to secure the attacker’s signature.

The news indicates that while personal terms will not pose a roadblock, Liverpool must still strike an official agreement on a transfer fee with PSG, who value the player at over €100m.

Why Barcola would be an ideal signing for Liverpool

Barcola has developed into one of Europe’s most exciting young wide forwards thanks to his pace, direct dribbling and ability to beat defenders in one-on-one situations.

His versatility allows him to play on either wing, making him an attractive option for Iraola as Liverpool adapt to life following Mohamed Salah’s departure.

The French international also fits the energetic, front-foot style associated with Iraola’s teams.

His willingness to press aggressively, recover possession high up the pitch and drive forward in transition makes him well suited to Liverpool’s tactical approach.

Still only 23, Barcola also offers significant long-term upside while already possessing valuable Champions League and international experience.

If Liverpool can strike an agreement with PSG, they would be landing one of the most coveted young attackers in European football and making a major statement ahead of the new campaign.
