Bradley Barcola is coming to spearhead Liverpool summer attacking rebuild | OneFootball

Liverpool are eyeing big changes in their attacking line for the 2026 summer transfer window.

We could see several players offloaded to fund incoming arrivals - with Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa in real danger of being dumped.

Salah, 33, is wanted by Al-Ittihad and Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia with a blockbuster contract being drawn up by the Public Investment Fund for the Egyptian King.

And Chiesa will be saying goodbye to Anfield come the end of the season according to various reports in the Italian media - with Juventus, Roma and Napoli all thought to be vying for his signature.

Liverpool looking at Bradley Barcola

If and when Salah and Chiesa depart it will leave a sizeable hole in the Liverpool squad. And one player tipped by a new report in the Spanish press to come in and improve the Reds’ attacking options is Bradley Barcola.

The 23-year-old won the treble as part of Paris Saint-Germain’s all-conquering side last season - but is not always a first pick for Luis Enrique.

The Frenchman has started less than half of his team’s Ligue 1 matches and could therefore be tempted to look elsewhere for first-team football next season.

Barcola’s contract expires in 2028 and without guaranteed starts the French giants may well seek to cash in.

Barcola can play either left or right

The report in Fichajes claims that Arsenal and Liverpool are the two Premier League teams most likely to take advantage of this unique market opportunity for Barcola.

It describes Barcola as “the ideal candidate” to take over from Salah - with his capabilities in terms of expected assists and non-penalty goals highlighted.

It’s no secret that Arne Slot and Richard Hughes are trying to quicken the pace of the attack and therefore the speedy Barcola might tick a lot of their boxes.

Although he normally plays on the left-hand side of attack Barcola is also capable of filling in down the right and even at centre-forward.

He could therefore be the multifaceted attacking weapon that Hughes and Slot need to improve their fortunes next term.

Barcola joined PSG from Lyon back in 2023 - for around £40m - and has been a key man in the Champions League in particular this term where he has provided three assists.
