Transfers – Barcola to Liverpool for €150m, Lyon can cash in too

The Bradley Barcola case could soon reach its conclusion. According to RMC Sport, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are discussing the transfer of the 23-year-old French PSG forward in a deal worth between €140 million and €150 million, including bonuses. A huge sale that Olympique Lyonnais would also benefit from.

A huge transfer that could bring in several million for OL

“According to information from RMC Sport, an agreement could be reached between the two parties at any moment, for an amount exceeding €140 million, including bonuses, and possibly even between €140 million and €150 million. A huge transfer that OL, Bradley Barcola’s training club, could benefit from. For a €140 million deal, Les Gones would receive at least €4.9 million, after having had Bradley Barcola in their squad, first at youth level and then professionally, from 2010 to 2023. One small regret for the Rhône club is the absence of a sell-on percentage when Bradley Barcola was sold to PSG in 2023.”

Although no agreement had yet been finalized by mid-morning this Thursday, the figures being mentioned reflect the importance the case has taken on. PSG could therefore complete a considerable sale with a player signed from Lyon in 2023, while Liverpool would have to make a particularly major investment to convince the Parisian club.

OL will also be closely following the outcome of the negotiations. Under the solidarity mechanism provided for by FIFA, Bradley Barcola’s training club must receive 3.5% of the final transfer fee. On a €140 million deal, Lyon would therefore receive at least €4.9 million.

A significant sum for OL, which had Barcola in its youth teams before his move into the professional ranks. The Rhône club does not, however, have any sell-on percentage negotiated during the striker’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in 2023. For both PSG and OL, this deal (the most expensive from a French club to a foreign one) would be a huge financial win.
