The French international was originally thought to be most likely to stay put in Paris beyond the summer transfer window.

However, the potentially impending arrivals of the aforementioned pair could change matters, particularly because contract negotiations have yet to yield a breakthrough.

Fabrizio Romano: Bradley Barcola is an option for Liverpool

Romano confirmed the update in question on X (formerly Twitter), noting Liverpool’s interest in the left winger dates back to 2025.

He later confirmed in a reply to a fan tweet that “Barcola can leave“.

And why shouldn’t this be the case with a multitude of wingers potentially set to compete for minutes at Parc des Princes next season?

Let’s take a look at PSG’s possible options, assuming all goes to plan for Luis Enrique’s men in the transfer market:

No wonder contract talks are stalling. We think Barcola can already see the writing on the wall.

PSG will have to let Barcola go this summer

We accept that the 23-year-old still staying put in the French capital is possible. He’s playing for the Champions League holders and a world-class coach in Luis Enrique.

But with playing minutes set to be divided further among an enlarged forward line, the prospect of a switch to Anfield, where minutes will undoubtedly flow more freely, has to appeal.

From our perspective, the attraction is obvious. Barcola can play on either wing (although he is primarily a right-footed left-sided winger) and is a phenomenal attacking talent.

Our one major concern is that this addition doesn’t seem as suitable a fit for the right wing as Yan Diomande.

But perhaps it’s a comparatively cheaper deal that enables Liverpool to do further business on the right and, ultimately, better stock the wings going into the 2026/27 season.
