PSG and Liverpool confident of reaching Bradley Barcola agreement | OneFootball

PSG and Liverpool are confident regarding the possibility of reaching an agreement for the transfer of France international winger Bradley Barcola (23), according to a report from L’Equipe. The Reds have made Barcola their primary option to add pace and output in Andoni Iraola’s attack. The former Lyon Academy graduate is said to be frustrated over his supersub role under Luis Enrique’s tutelage. Barcola was notably benched for PSG’s two Champions League finals wins.

Barcola is keen on a move to Liverpool, and L’Equipe reports that the Reds have reached an contractual agreement with the 23-year-old winger. But it does not mean that Barcola’s exit will be resolved in the coming days with both PSG and Liverpool still far apart regarding the player’s valuation. The Reds reportedly would not want to go higher than €120m for Barcola whereas PSG are sticking to a €150m price tag.

PSG are using several high-profile transfers – such as Morgan Rogers’ Chelsea move or Elliot Anderson’s Manchester City switch – as a benchmark for Barcola’s price. But Liverpool are aware those comparisons are irrelevant given those transfers took place between Premier League sides. Negotiations remain underway, with the parties involved confident that a deal could be reached.

L’Equipe understands that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is expected to make contact with Liverpool’s senior management, whom he knows well. The fact both clubs share a minority shareholder in Arctos could also ease the dialogue.
